4.1 JOYSTICK 
ADJUSTMENTS 
4.1.1.   Neutral Position Adjustments 
The joystick controls the movement and stopping of the 
unit. Move the joystick to the center or neutral position to 
stop mower. IMPORTANT: Always return the joystick 
with hand assistance to the neutral position. If mower 
does not come to a complete stop or has any movement 
when joystick is moved to the neutral position, 
adjustment must be made. It is recommended that these 
adjustments be made by an authorized SNAPPER 
dealer. But, adjust joystick cables as follows after 
removing fenders: 
 
1. If mower tracks to the right, loosen bottom nut 
first on the right cable. Turn top nut clockwise in a 
1/8 increment then retighten lower nut to secure 
cable. Check tracking of mower. Repeat this 
adjustment if necessary. See Figure 4.1. 
2.  If mower tracks to the left, loosen bottom nut first 
on the left cable. Turn top nut clockwise in a 1/8 
increment then retighten lower nut to secure cable. 
Check tracking of mower. Repeat this adjustment if 
necessary. See Figure 4.1. 
 
4.1.2.   Forward Speed Adjustments 
The joystick is equipped with a forward speed governor 
plate (see Figure 4.1a).  Moving the plate in or out 
adjusts the maximum forward speed the unit can 
achieve.  To adjust the plate: 
 
1.  Loosen the two front torx screws on the joystick 
control. 
2.  To increase maximum forward speed, slide the 
plate further out from the joystick.  To decrease 
maximum forward speed, slide the plate further in 
toward the joystick 
3. Be sure to retighten torx screws after satisfactory 
speed is achieved.
