3.6 INSTALL MOTION CONTROL LEVERS
3.6.1 Loosen and remove the two (2) 3/8”x1” bolts and spring disk washers which attach
the motion control levers to the control arm shafts for shipping and the two (2) 3/8”
x 1” bolts and spring disk washers which are screwed into the control arm shafts.
a) Install the left motion control lever onto the control arm shaft (See Figure 5) on
the left side of the console. Place the lever (with the mounting plate towards the
rear) on the outside of the control arm shaft and secure with the bolts and
washers. Position the lever so the bolts are in the center of the slots on the lever
mounting plate and tighten until snug. Repeat on opposite side of unit.
NOTE: There are two lever height options available. Place the levers in the top
two holes to increase height of the levers, or the bottom two holes to decrease
the height of the levers.
If the levers do not align with each other when in the neutral position (See Figure
6), loosen the hardware and make the appropriate adjustment by sliding/tilting the
lever(s) forward or backward until properly aligned and tighten hardware.
