Upper Control Lever
The upper control levers may be adjusted while in neutral
position for height, reach and forward travel to fit the
operator’s steering comfort zone.
Height Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-3:
1.
Adjust upper control levers (#1) vertically by removing
bolts (#3), flat washers (#4), and locknuts (#5) that
attach upper control levers (#1) to the lower control
levers (#2).
2.
Reposition upper control levers to a height that fits
the operator’s personal preference.
3.
Reassemble bolts, flat washers, and locknuts in the
same order they were removed without tightening
them.
Reach Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-3:
The upper control levers (#1) can be adjusted forward or
rearward to make steering more comfortable.
1.
Loosen mounting bolts (#3) and pivot upper control
levers (#1) forward or backward to fit operator’s
personal reach preference. Skip to step 3 if reach is
satisfactory.
2.
If reach comfort zone can not be achieved, then try
switching the right upper control lever with the left
upper control lever as follows:
a. Remove bolts (#3), flat washers (#4), and
locknuts (#5).
b. Switch right control lever with left control lever and
reassemble bolts, flat washers, and locknuts in
the same order they were removed without
tightening them.
c. Pivot upper control levers forward or backward to
fit operator’s personal reach preference.
3.
Verify that the control levers align with each other
when in neutral and then tighten bolts (#3) to the
correct torque.
Forward Travel Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-3:
"Reach Adjustment" instructions adjust the upper control
levers to be equally aligned while in neutral. However,
with this adjustment, the mower may want to steer
slightly to the right or left when pushing the levers equally
forward.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the lower control levers
have been adjusted before adjusting the upper
control levers. See page 24 for lower control lever
adjustment instructions.
NOTE: Adjust the seat to operate the deck pedal
comfortably before making the "Reach Adjustment".
See "Seat Adjustment" on this page for instructions.
Make the following adjustments if you prefer to have the
upper control levers equally aligned while in forward
travel position instead of neutral position:
1.
While driving forward, make the necessary steering
correction required to make the unit go straight and
take careful notice of how the upper control levers
are positioned. (The distance one lever is ahead of
the other to make the mower travel straight.)
2.
Stop the mower on a level surface, place control
levers in neutral, set park brake (ON), shut power off
and remove switch key.
3.
You can either adjust the trailing lever forward by the
distance it was trailing or adjust the leading lever
back by the distance it was leading.
a. Loosen mounting bolts (#3) on the side to be
adjusted.
b. Reposition the lever forward or backward by the
distance it was trailing or leading.
c. Retighten bolts (#3) to the correct torque.
Example:
If the right control lever is one inch ahead of the left
control lever, stop the unit and either adjust the right
upper control lever back one inch or adjust the left
upper control lever forward one inch.

Seat Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-3:
The seat should be adjusted forward or rearward to a
comfortable position to operate the deck lift pedal. Move
seat adjustment latch (located under the seat) to the left
and then move the seat forward or rearward. Once
adjusted, return latch to the locked position.
The arm rest can be adjusted up or down to a suitable
arm rest height. Turn the knobs located behind the seat
to raise or lower the arms.
