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 blade-control switch (PTO), move
the motion-control levers to the N
position, and engage 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
82).
4.
Align the levers in the front-to-rear position by
bringing the levers together to the N
position, and slide them until they are aligned,
then tighten the bolts

(page

6.
Repeat to adjust the control levers.
Adjusting the
Motion-Control Linkage
The pump-control linkages are located on either side
of the fuel tank, below the seat. Rotating the pump
linkage with a wrench (1/2 inch) allows fine tuning
adjustments so that the machine does not move in
neutral. Any adjustments should be made for neutral
positioning only.
WARNING
g009040
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.
