HAND CONTROLS 4.3 Angle Adjustment Checking the base angle After changing the control cable the control lever angle will need to be verified and / or adjusted to provide oper- ator comfort and proper travel clearance. 1 Make sure the rod ends are screwed onto the rod threads a minimum of 3/8’’ (6mm). 2 Place an angle finder on the front shield of the loader to find the base measurement. Note the reading. (fig. C4396) 3 Place the angle finder on the control lever as shown in (fig. C4297). Note the reading. The correct angle is 8є + / - 1є. 4 Adjust the angle by moving the handle transfer rod ends up or down on their mount. (fig.
C4298) Be sure to allow for the base angle, the angle the loader may be leaning at while measuring. Add or subtract this measure- ment as necessary. Remove the cotter and clevis pin from the lever handle base. Loosen the jam nuts for the rod end on the handle transfer rod. Adjust the angle as required. 5 Tighten all jam nuts on the handle transfer ends. (fig. C4298, C4285) Reconnect clevis and cotter pins to the handle base. 6 Cycle the control levers to check for travel clearance. 7 Replace the seat and hydrostatic shields.
