ASSEMBLY
Position Lapbar Drive Control Levers
The lapbar drive control levers can be adjusted up/down and forward/backward for
the operator’s comfort. Three height positions are available and/or levers can be
rotated forward or rearward using the knob.
To adjust the lapbar drive control lever height, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the two carriage
screws (a) and two flange lock
nuts (b) that secure the lapbar
drive control lever (c) to the
upper handle adjuster (d). See
Figure 9.
Note:
The multi-tool (if
equipped) can be used to make
this adjustment.
2.
Move the lapbar drive control lever
into one of the three available
heights and secure in place with
the carriage screws and flange
lock nuts. See Figure 9.
To adjust the lapbar drive control levers forward/rearward, proceed as follows:
1.
Rotate the knob (a) counter-
clockwise to loosen the knob
(a). See Figure 10.
2.
Lift and rotate the lapbar drive
control lever into the desired
position.
3.
Rotate the knob clockwise to
secure the lapbar drive control
lever into position. See Figure 10.
4.
If the lapbars do not line
up after making the knob
adjustment, loosen nuts (b),
align lapbars and retighten
nuts. Once this fine adjustment
is made, the lapbars will align
when using the knob adjustment. See Figure 9.
