Adjusting the Handle Neutral
Position
If the motion control levers do not align or move easily into
the console notch, adjustment them. Adjust each lever,
spring, and rod separately.
Note: The motion control levers must be installed correctly.
See Installing the Motion Control Levers in the Setup
instructions.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Tilt the seat forward.
4. Begin with either the left or right motion control lever.
5. Move lever to the neutral position but not locked
(Fig. 43).

7. Check where the control lever is relative to the notch in
the console (Fig. 43). It should be centered, allowing
the lever to pivot outward to the neutral lock position.
8. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut and jam nut
against the yoke (Fig. 44).
9. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion control
lever, and turn the head of the adjustment bolt in the
appropriate direction until the control lever is centered
in the neutral lock position (Fig. 43).
Note: Keeping rearward pressure on the lever will keep
the pin at the end of the slot and allow the adjustment
bolt to move the lever to the appropriate position.
10. Tighten the nut and jam nut (Fig. 44).
11. Repeat on the opposite side of machine.
