Adjusting Motion Controls

Adjusting Handle Neutral
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 Install Motion Control
Levers on page 17.
1. Stop engine, remove ignition key and tilt seat
forward.
2. Begin with either the left or right motion control
lever. Move lever to the neutral (but not locked)
position and pull lever back until the clevis pin
(on arm below pivot shaft) contacts the end of
the slot (just beginning to put pressure on spring)
(Fig. 39).
3. Check where lever is relative to notch in console
(should be centered allowing lever to pivot
outward to the neutral lock position) (Fig. 39).
4. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut against
the yoke.
5. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion
control lever, turn the head of the adjustment
bolt in the appropriate direction until lever is
centered in neutral lock position (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).
6. Tighten nut and jam nut.
7. Repeat on opposite side of unit.

adjustment can be performed.
