Adjusting Drive Control Levers
The RH and LH drive control levers can be adjusted up or down
and fore-and-aft for the comfort of the operator. Proper drive
control lever and seat adjustment will result in the following:
In the neutral position with hands on the control levers,
•
Operator’s upper arms should be relaxed and
approximately vertical.
•
Operator’s forearms should be approximately
horizontal.
In the full forward position,
•
Operator’s back should stay in contact with the seat
back.
•
Control levers should not contact operator’s legs.
In the full reverse position,
•
Control levers should not contact the operator’s legs
or torso.
•
Set the seat to the preferred operating position.
•
Adjustment lever is located under the front edge of
the seat.
Check factory settings of control levers for the conditions listed
above.
NOTE:
If control lever adjustments are required, height
adjustments should be made prior to angular adjustments.
