Loosen the mount bolts (D, Figure 36) and raise or lower the levers to the desired position. Tighten the mounting bolts.(D). To Adjust Control Lever End Gap: The control lever end gap should be adjusted so that the levers do not contact each other when placed in DRIVE positions. Loosen the jam nut (A, Figure 36) and adjust the length of the carriage bolt (B) so that the levers do not contact each other. Repeat on the opposite side. Tighten the jam nut (A) to lock the carriage bolt in position. To Adjust Operator Clearance: The space between the operator and the control levers can be increase by removing the lower mounting bolt (D, Figure 36), pivoting the lever forward, and reinstalling the capscrew through the control lever and forward slot (C). Repeat with the other ground speed lever. 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 the right lever can be balanced by turning the adjustment knob (E, Figure 36). Loosen the jam nut and turn the knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to increase speed or CLOCKWISE to decrease speed. Tighten the jam nut when complete. CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT To increase the mower cutting height (raise the mower deck), press the top of the mower cutting height switch (A, Figure 37). To decrease mower cutting height (lower the mower deck), press the bottom of the switch. Mower cutting height range is 3-3/4" to 1-1/2" (9,5-3,8 cm). The cutting height gauge indicates the position of the mower deck. The cutting height gauge (B) is located on the front of the rider, just behind the driver's left leg.
