• Adjust steering levers
1. Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
2. Pull the speed control lever completely back to
the neutral position. The two steering levers
should be straight up and down (vertical). If
necessary, adjust steering levers by changing
the length of the link between the speed
control lever and the control arm on the end
of the steering control shaft (see Figure 17).
1. Loosen jam nuts here to
adjust linkage
• Set neutral:
1. Remove the electrical connection from the
seat safety switch, located directly in front of
the seat switch assembly.
2. The neutral adjustment must be made with
the drive wheels turning. Raise the frame and
place on jack stands so that drive wheels can
rotate freely. Temporarily install a jumper wire
