ADJUSTMENTS
Steering Levers
An adjustment range of approximately 3 inches is
available on the steering levers - the levers can be ad-
justed forward or aft depending on the arm length of
the operator. The levers can be adjusted by loosen-
ing the locknut at the pivot point and the locknut hold-
ing 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 lev-
el 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.
Tilt-Up Deck Adjustable Stop
GHS Signal Horn Adjustment
(When Horn Sounds at Wrong Time)
The vertical position of the Grass-Pak
®
switch is crit-
ical to make sure the catcher box does not overfill
causing the delivery chute to clog. The vertical po-
sition can be adjusted by bending the mounting
bracket for the Grass-Pak
®
switch.

DANGER
PINCH POINT - SPRING LOADED DOOR
When lowering the door on the GHS
catcher, depress the safety latch on the
side of the catcher. BE VERY CAREFUL to
keep hands, fingers, etc. out of the hing-
ing mechanism and away from the door
frame as the door closes. The springs that
hold the door closed during operation are
very powerful, and the door can slam shut
with considerable force.
