Ground Speed Control Lever Assembly
There is a LEFT-HAND and a RIGHT-HAND ground speed
control lever. When assembled to the control lever mount,
the control lever base should be pointing towards the rear of
the machine as shown in Figure 4.
1. Remove the ground speed control lever and the
mounting hardware from the handle bar box.
2. Install the ground speed control levers (
A, Figure 4
) on
the control lever mount using the 5/16-18 x 3/4” bolts
(
B
), 5/16” lock washers (
C
) and 5/16” flat washers (
D
).
Prior to tightening the bolts align the levers with each
other.
Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment
The ground speed control levers can be adjusted in three
ways. The height of the levers, the alignment of the control
levers, and the placement of the control levers (how close
the ends are to one another) can be adjusted.
Height Adjustment
1. Remove the mounting hardware (
B, C & D, Figure 4
).
2. Position the ground speed control lever (
A
) either up
or down from its original position and reinstall the
mounting hardware.
3. Perform the
Alignment Adjustment
.
Alignment Adjustment
1. Loosen the mounting hardware (
B, C & D, Figure 4
).
2. Pivot the ground speed control levers (
A
) forward or
backwards to align with each other.
3. Once alignment is achieved, retighten the hardware.
Placement Adjustment
1. Loosen the placement bolt jam nut (
E, Figure 4
).
2. Turn the placement bolt (
F
) in or out to adjust the
amount of distance between the ends of the ground
speed control levers.
