Ground Speed Control Lever
Adjustment
The ground speed control levers can be adjusted in three
ways. The alignment of the control levers, the placement of
the levers (how close the ends are to one another) and the
height of the levers can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Lever Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (
A, Figure 37
) and pivot the levers
forwards or backwards (
C
) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Lever Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (
B
) in or
out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
To Adjust the Lever Height
Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the handle
either up or down from its original position. You will need to
readjust the handle alignment as described above.

Parking Brake Adjustment
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop the
engine, and remove the ignition key.
2. Raise the seat plate.
3. Locate the brake spring (
A, Figure 38
).
4. With the parking brake engaged, measure the
compressed spring length. The spring should be
1-15/16” - 2” (4,9 - 5,1 cm) when compressed.
5. If the spring is not within this range, release the parking
brake and turn the adjustment nut (
B
) to compress or
relax the spring.
6. Engage the parking brake and remeasure the spring.
NOTICE
Do NOT adjust the spring to be shorter than 1-15/16”
(4,9 cm) when compressed. This may damage the brake
mechanism.
