points.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer or
garden hose to clean your tractor. They may cause damage
to electrical components; spindles; pufleys; bearings; or the
engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.

AdjustingRH& LHDriveControlLevers
The RH and LH drive control
levers can be adjusted
up or
down and fore-and-aft
for the comfort of the operator. The
drive control levers can be placed in either of two height
positions, and/or can be moved forward
or rearward
within the range of the slot in each control
lever mounting
bracket.
To adjust the drive control lever height, proceed as follows:
•
Remove the flange lock nut, flat washer, and hex screw
securing the lever to the pivot bracket.
•
While supporting
the control
lever to keep it from
falling, remove the hex insert flange lock nut and
shoulder
screw from the bottom
of the control lever
and pivot bracket. Refer to Figure 6-5.
•
Reposition the control lever to align with the other set
of holes in the pivot bracket and insert the shoulder
screw removed earlier. Fasten with the hex insert flange
lock nut and tighten
until snug.
•
Insert the hex screw w/washer through
the control
lever slot and the pivot bracket. Thread the flange lock
nut onto the screw, but do not tighten
now.
•
If you are going to adjust the control levers forward or
rearward, proceed to the next step. If not, fully tighten
the flange lock nut.
