Adjusting the Neutral Postion for the
Motion Control Levers
Important: Ensure the tracking of the mower is
correct after adjusting the motion control levers.
After adjusting the tracking, the motion control
levers may not align the exactly front to back
(Figure 56).
If the motion control levers do not align front to back,
or the right side control lever does not move easily into
the neutral lock position, adjustment is required. Adjust
each lever and control rod separately.
Note: Adjust the horizontal alignment before the front
to back alignment.
1. After the horizontal alignment is finished, check the
front to back alignment (Figure 56).
