Adjust each lever, spring and rod separately.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Raise the seat (Fig. 322).

ning to put pressure on the spring) (Fig. 324).

in console (Fig. 323). It should be centered with the
