placed, always use Walker original equipment

ADJUSTMENTS
Steering Levers
An adjustment range of approximately 3 inches is
available on the steering levers - the levers can be
adjusted forward or aft depending on the arm length
of the operator. The levers can be adjusted by loos-
ening the locknut at the pivot point and the locknut
holding the lever in position in the adjustment slide.
Adjust levers into most comfortable position and
tighten both locknuts.
Steering Lever Adjustment
Tilt-Up Deck Adjustable Stop
When the carrier frame hinge joint is properly adjust-
ed, the deck lock levers should move in and out of the
engaged and disengaged positions freely. All four
hitch pins used for height adjustment should sit flush
on the washers above the deck pin bushing. On a
level surface, if any pin is sticking up (likely the front
pins), tighten the opposite side or loosen the same
side to lower the pin. Adjustments are made by loos-
ening the jam nut and tightening or loosening the set
screws on the Deck Mount Pivot Brackets. Retighten
the jam nut when the adjustment is complete.
