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 and oil
drain tube 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: The seat is partially inserted into the slots of the
seat pivot bracket. If the seat does not become disen-
gaged from the pivot bracket when removing the pack-
aging material, 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 instructed 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 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.
