Adjusting the Handle Neutral
If motion control levers do not align, or move easily into
the console notch, adjustment is required. Adjust each
lever, spring and rod separately.
Note: The motion control levers must be installed
correctly. See Installing the Motion Control Levers in the
set up 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. Unlatch the seat and tilt the seat forward.
4. Begin with either the left or right motion control lever.
5. Move the lever to the neutral position but not locked
(Fig. 57).
6. Pull lever back until the clevis pin (on arm below pivot
shaft) contacts the end of the slot (just beginning to put
pressure on the spring) (Fig. 57).
7. Check where the control lever is relative to notch in
console (Fig. 56). It should be centered allowing lever
to pivot outward to the neutral lock position.

8. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut and jam nut
against the yoke (Fig. 57).
9. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion control
lever, turn the head of the adjustment bolt in the
appropriate direction until the control lever is centered
in neutral lock position (Fig. 56).
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. 57).
11. Repeat on the opposite side of the machine.

Engine must be running so motion control
adjustment can be performed. Contact with

parts away from rotating parts, muffler and other
hot surfaces.
