3.8 INSTALL MOTION CONTROL LEVERS.

3.8.1 Loosen and remove the two (2) 3/8" x 1" bolts and spring disc washers which attach
the motion control levers to the control arm shafts for shipping and the
two (2) 3/8" x 1" bolts and spring disc washers which are screwed into the control
arm shafts.
a) Install the left motion control lever onto the control arm shaft (See Fig.4) on the
left side of the console. Place the lever (with the mounting plate towards the
rear) on the outside of the control arm shaft and secure with the bolts and
washers. Position the lever so the bolts are in the center of the slots on the
lever mounting plate and tighten until snug. Repeat on opposite side of unit.
NOTE: There are two lever height options available on newer units. Place the
levers in the top two holes to increase height of the levers, or in the bottom two
holes to decrease the height of the levers.
If the levers do not align with each other, when in the neutral position, (See
Fig. 5) loosen the hardware and make the appropriate adjustment by sliding/tilting
the lever(s) forward or backward until properly aligned and tighten hardware.

them back to the drive position and check for clearance, repeat if necessary.
