TRACTOR PREPARATION

Remove the upper crating material from the shipping
pallet, and cut any bands or tie straps securing the trac-
tor to the pallet.
Use the lift handle to raise the deck to its highest posi-
tion; engage the transmission bypass rods (Refer to
SECTION 1, CONTROLS AND FEATURES); and care-
fully roll the tractor off the shipping pallet. Disengage the
bypass rods.
Remove the deck wash system nozzle adapter from the
manual bag and store for future use.
INSTALL OPERATOR'S SEAT
The operator's seat was partially inserted into the seat
pivot bracket for shipping purposes. To install the seat
proceed as follows:
1. Cut any straps securing the seat assembly and the
drive control levers to the tractor. Remove any
packing material.
NOTE: If the seat does not become disengaged from
the pivot bracket when removing the packaging materi-
al, the pivot bracket may be pivoted upward and the seat
pushed into place as described in step 6. If the seat
does disengage the pivot bracket, install the seat as in-
structed in steps 2 through 6.
2. Pivot the seat pivot bracket partially upward. Refer
to Figure 1.
3. Note the grooves in the seat adjust spacers
attached to the bottom of the seat, then lift the seat
and position above and to the rear of the pivot
bracket.
4. Align the grooves in the seat adjust spacers with
the sides of the adjustment slots in the pivot
bracket.
5. Slide the seat adjust spacers into the slots of the
pivot bracket.
6. Continue to push the seat forward in the pivot
bracket slots until the front/left shoulder bolt of the
seat assembly passes forward of the stop bracket
on the seat pivot bracket. See Figure 1.
Use the seat adjust lever to adjust the seat position. Re-
fer to "Adjusting the Operator's Seat" in Section 3 for
seat adjustment instructions.
