Maintenance Instructions
Adjustments
2. With the steering levers held back, move the
FSC lever back from the
FORWARD
position.
With a proper amount of friction adjusted, the
FSC lever should move back with a slight
amount of resistance (friction). If the FSC
lever movement is “stiff”, the
friction needs to
be decreased.
3.
The FSC friction is
increased
or
decreased
by tightening or
loosening
the
friction ad-
justment nut.
Loosen or tighten the nut and
check the control function until conditions of
both steps 1 and 2 (above) are met.
Steering Handles
An adjustment range of approximately 3 in. (76
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 handles
into most comfortable position and tighten both
locknuts.

Steering Handle Adjustment
Tilt-Up Deck Adjustable Stop*
When the carrier frame hinge joint is properly
adjusted, the deck lock levers should move in and
out of the engaged and disengaged positions
freely. All four (4) hitch pins used for height adjust-
ment 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 oppo-
site 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 complete.
