Adjusting Drive Control Levers
The RH and LH drive control levers can be adjusted
up or down and fore-and-aft for the comfort of
the operator. Proper drive control lever and seat
adjustment will result in the following:
In the neutral position with hands on the
control levers,
• Operator’s upper arms should be relaxed
and approximately vertical.
• Operator’s forearms should be
approximately horizontal.
In the full forward position,
• Operator’s back should stay in contact with
the seat back.
• Control levers should not contact
operator’s legs.
In the full reverse position,
• Control levers should not contact the
operator’s legs or torso.
Set the seat to the preferred operating position.
• Adjustment lever is located under the front
edge of the seat.
Check factory settings of control levers for the
conditions listed above.
Note: If control lever adjustments are required,
height adjustments should be made prior to
angular adjustments.
To adjust the height of the drive control levers:
1. Remove the flange lock nuts (a) that secure
the carriage bolts (b) in the drive control
