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

Steering Lever Adjustment
Tilt-Up Deck Adjustable Stop
When the carrier frame hinge joint is properly ad-
justed, the deck lock levers should move in and out
of the engaged and disengaged positions freely. All
four hitch pins used for height adjustment should sit
flush on the washers above the deck pin bushing.
On a level surface, if any pin is sticking up (likely the
front pins), tighten the opposite side or loosen the
same side to lower the pin. Adjustments are made
by loosening the jam nut and tightening or loosening
the set screws on the Deck Mount Pivot Brackets.
Retighten the jam nut when the adjustment is com-
plete.

DANGER
PINCH POINT - SPRING LOADED DOOR
When lowering the door on the GHS
catcher, depress the safety latch on the
side of the catcher. BE VERY CAREFUL
to keep hands, fingers, etc. out of the
hinging mechanism and away from the
door frame as the door closes. The
springs that hold the door closed during
operation are very powerful, and the door
can slam shut with considerable force.
The vertical position of the Grass-Pak
®
switch is
critical to make sure the catcher box does not over-
fill causing the delivery chute to clog. The vertical
position can be adjusted by bending the mounting
bracket for the Grass-Pak
®
switch.
