Direction Lever Adjustments
The direction control lever should stay in either the IN or
OUT position. If the direction lever doesn’t travel equal
distances into IN and OUT (see Figure 15), its control
cable must be adjusted.
1. Remove the control lever assembly from the tractor.
2. Remove the aluminum bottom cover from the control
lever housing by removing the two Phillips head
screws (see Figure 16).
3. Remove the cotter and the clevis pin to free the clevis
from the control lever.
4. Loosen the rear jam nut and adjust the nut inside the
clevis by turning the clevis. Adjusting the nut farther
onto the cable will move the lever away from the
operator. Check adjustment by replacing the clevis
pin and operating the lever.
5. Tighten the jam nut by holding the clevis. Add grease
to the clevis pin hole in the control lever base and
install the clevis pin and cotter. Test the lever operation
before attaching the aluminum housing cover.
6. If the cable cannot be adjusted far enough, the cable
must be adjusted at the winch end. Always adjust the
cable at the control lever fi rst.
7. Before adjusting the cable at the winch end, ensure
the cable is routed smoothly and is not twisted. To do
this, loosen the cover capscrews holding the cable to
the control lever. Allow the cable to rotate if it is under
any strain. If the cable rotates, remove the cover and
return to step 4 above.
8. If the cable needs adjustment at the winch, loosen
the cover capscrews at the control lever and loosen
the jam nut on the power control cable at the winch.
9. To adjust the cable, rotate the metal cable jacket,
screwing the cable into or out of the winch. Screwing
the cable jacket into the winch will move the control
lever towards the operator.
10. Apply grease to the clevis pin and reassemble the
clevis pin and cotter. Test the control lever operation
before attaching the aluminum housing cover.
11. Be sure to rotate the cable inside the housing to
remove any twisting caused by step 9. Tighten the
cable jam nut at the winch and the cover capscrews
at the control lever.
