ADJUSTMENTS

Steering Handles Adjustment - Step 2

1.

An adjustment range of approximately 3 in.
(76.2 mm) is available on the steering handles -
the handles can be adjusted forward or aft
depending on the arm length of the operator.
The handles can be adjusted by loosening the
locknut at the pivot point and the locknut
holding the handle in position in the adjustment
slide.  Adjust the handles into the most
comfortable position and tighten both locknuts.

Steering Lever Adjustment

Neutral Position Adjustment - Step 3

1.

With the Forward Speed Control (FSC) in neu-
tral, the lever should be straight up.  Adjust by
loosening the jam nuts on the FSC Rod and turn
the rod to attain the straight up position.  Tighten
the jam nuts.

Steering Adjustment

2.

The initial adjustment for neutral is to loosen
the jam nuts on each end of the FSC Rod and
turn the rod to achieve a measurement of 5 in.
(127 mm) between the jam nuts.  Be sure to
tighten jam nuts before making the measure-
ment. 

Actuator Rod Length Adjustment

3.

Block the tractor up so the drive tires are off the
ground.

4.

With the FSC in neutral, start the engine.  (Op-
erate first at idle and then normal operating
speed) and check for movement of drive wheels.
