Adjusting the Control-handle
Position
There are 2 height positions for the control levers—high and
low. Remove the bolts to adjust the height for the operator.
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. Loosen the bolts and flange nuts installed in the levers
(Figure 80).
4. Align the levers in the front-to-rear position by
bringing the levers together to the neutral position, and
slide them until they are aligned, then tighten the bolts
(Figure 81).

6. Repeat to adjust the control levers.
Adjusting the Motion-control
Linkage
Located on either side of the fuel tank, below the seat are the
pump-control linkages. Rotating the pump linkage with a
1/2–inch wrench allows fine tuning adjustments so that the
machine does not move in neutral. Any adjustments should
be made for neutral positioning only.
WARNING
Engine must be running and drive wheels must
be turning so motion control adjustment can be
performed. Contact with moving parts or hot
surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep fingers, hands, and clothing clear of rotating
components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck-lift pedal,
and remove the height-of-cut pin.
2. Lower deck to the ground.
3. Raise the rear of machine up and support it with jack
stands (or equivalent support).
Note: Raise the machine just high enough to allow
drive wheels to turn freely.
4. 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.
