WARNING
To avoid serious injury, perform adjustments
only with engine stopped, key removed and trac-
tor on level ground.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT

SEAT-SLIDE EQUIPPED MODELS
For units equipped with a Seat Slide, See Figure 21. Use
the lever under the front of the seat to adjust the seat
forward or rearward for best rider comfort.
STANDARD MODELS
1. See Figure 22. Lift up the seat and loosen the four
capscrews.
2. Slide the seat forward or back and tighten the cap-
screws.
PTO ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 23.
The PTO clutch is properly adjusted when the clutch pul-
ley (C) moves away from clutch cone (D) 1/16" (1.5 mm)
when clutch is disengaged. To adjust, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Loosen the rear nut (B).
2. Turn the front nut slightly clockwise to increase pulley
travel or counterclockwise to decrease pulley travel.
3. Tighten the rear nut against the front nut and check
the measurement again.
4. Adjust locknut (E) so there is 1/8" (3 mm) between
locknut (E) and pivot arm when clutch is disengaged.

PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 24.
1. Loosen jam nut (E) at parking brake rod end. Rotate
the parking brake handle (B) clockwise until it is tight
and pulled up against fender as shown.
2. Operate the brake handle to see if it is too loose or
too tight. It should be tight against fender when set
but not too tight to operate.
3. When proper adjustment is achieved, tighten jam nut.
NOTE: It will be easier to apply the parking brake when
the clutch/brake pedal is fully engaged.
