Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment
The control levers can be adjusted in three ways. The
alignment of the control levers, the placement of the levers
(how close the ends are to one another) and the height of the
levers can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 30) and pivot the lever(s)
(C) to align with each other.

To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B) in or
out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
To Adjust the Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the handle
either up or down from its original position. You will need to
adjust the handle alignment again as described above.
Speed Balancing Adjustment
If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground speed
control levers are in the maximum forward position, the top
speed of each of these levers can be balanced by turning the
adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 31). Only adjust the speed of the
wheel that is traveling faster.

To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the securing nut (B).
2. Turn the top speed adjustment bolt counter-clockwise to
reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall speed
forward or reverse than it was designed for.
Checking Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the Specifications chart. Note that
these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown
provide proper traction and extend tire life.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 32) controls
the mower's cutting height. The cutting height is adjustable
between 1-1/2" (3,37 cm) and 4-1/2" (11,47 cm) in 1/4" (0,64
cm) increments.
