Adjusting the Control-Handle
Position
There are 2 height positions for the control levers—high and
low. Remove the bolts to adjust the height.
1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the
motion-control levers to the N
and set the parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Loosen the bolts and flange nuts installed in the levers
(Figure
83).
4. Align the levers in the front-to-rear position by bringing
the levers together to the N
until they are aligned, and tighten the bolts

Adjusting the Motion-Control
Linkage
The pump-control linkages are located on either side of the
fuel tank, below the seat. Rotate the pump linkage with a 1/2
inch wrench for fine-tuning adjustments so that the machine
does not move in neutral. Make any adjustments for neutral
positioning only.
WARNING
The engine must be running and the drive wheels
must be turning, so the motion-control adjustment
can be performed. Contact with moving parts or
hot surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing clear of
rotating components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck-lift pedal,
remove the height-of-cut pin, and lower the deck to
the ground.
2. Raise the rear of machine and support it with jack
stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to
allow the drive wheels to turn freely.
3. Remove the electrical connection from the seat safety
switch, located under the bottom cushion of the seat.
Note: The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
4. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the terminals
in the connector of the main wire harness.
