Adjusting the Control Handle
Neutral Position
If motion control levers do not align, or move easily into
the console notch, adjustment is required. Adjust each
lever, spring and rod separately.
Note: Motion control levers must be installed correctly.
See Installing the Motion Control Levers in the set up
instructions.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Unlatch the seat and tilt the seat forward.
4. Begin with either the left or right motion control
lever.
5. Move the lever to the neutral position but not locked
(Figure 77).
6. Pull the lever back until the clevis pin (on arm
below pivot shaft) contacts the end of the slot (just
beginning to put pressure on the spring) (Figure 77).
7. Check where the control lever is relative to notch in
console (Figure 77). It should be centered allowing
lever to pivot outward to the neutral lock position.

9. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion
control lever, turn the head of the adjustment bolt
in the appropriate direction until the control lever is
centered in the neutral lock position (Figure 78).
Note: Keeping rearward pressure on the lever will
keep the pin at the end of the slot and allow the
adjustment bolt to move the lever to the appropriate
position.
10. Tighten the nut and jam nut (Figure 78).
11. Repeat for the opposite side of the machine.
