Seat Adjustment
The height of the seat (A, Figure 27) can be adjusted
either up or down to accomidate the operator’s
comfort level.
1. Remove the seat height adjustment hardware (B,
Figure 27).
2. For shorter operators position the seat in the upper
mounting hole (C), for taller operators position the
seat in the lower mounting hole (D). Reinstall the
seat adjustment hardware.

Neutral Adjustment
If the unit “creeps” while the ground speed control
levers are in the NEUTRAL position, then it may be
necessary to adjust the linkage adjuster rods.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface such as
a concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the
parking brake and turn off the engine.
2. Loosen the jam nut (A, Figure 28).
3. Turn the linkage rod adjuster (B) to adjust the
neutral of the machine:
• If the machine creeps forward, turn the linkage
rod adjuster CLOCKWISE.
• If the machine creeps backwards, turn the
linkage rod adjuster COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
4. Retighten the jam nut when adjustment is
complete.
5. Start the engine.
6. Disengage the parking brake and make sure all
controls are in the NEUTRAL position.
7. If the machine still “creeps” repeat the NEUTRAL
ADJUSTMENT procedure. It may take several
attempts to achieve neutral depending on how
much the machine creeps.
CAUTION
This adjustment should not be performed while
the machine is running.
