The ground speed control levers can be adjusted in
three ways. The alignment of the control levers, the
placement of the levers (how close the ends are to one
another) and the height of the levers can be adjusted.
TO ADJUST THE HANDLE ALIGNMENT
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 21) and pivot the
ground speed control lever(s) (B) to align with each
other.
TO ADJUST THE HANDLE PLACEMENT
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (C) in
or out to properly adjust the ground speed control lever
end spacing.
TO ADJUST THE HANDLE HEIGHT
Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the
ground speed control lever either up or down from its
original position. You will need to readjust the ground
speed control lever alignment as described above.
