SEAT, SEAT BELT AND ROPS

Seat Adjustment
Your SHIBAURA Tractor is equipped with an ad-
justable suspension seat as shown in Figure 1.
To adjust the seat fore and aft, move the release
lever ①, towards the fender, slide the seat to the
desired position, releasing the lever to lock.
The seat has seven height position controlled by
the knob ②. While sitting in the seat, pull out the
knob moving it to the left to increase the height, or
to the right to reduce the height.
To adjust the seat suspension for individual opera-
tors, pull out the lever ③, and twist until either the
（＋）or（－）sign is uppermost. Operating the
ratchet with the （＋） uppermost will provide a firmer
ride, or with（－）uppermost, a softer the ride.

Seat Belt
To lengthen the seat belt, tip the buckle end down
and pull on the buckle until the ends can be joined.
To shorten the belt, buckle it, then pull on the loose
end until the belt is snug, Figure 2.
Use soap and water to clean the seat belt if nec-
essary. Do not use carbon tetrachloride, naphtha,
etc., as these substances will weaken the webbing.
Additionally, do not bleach or re-dye the webbing,
as these products will also weaken the webbing.

Replace the seat belt if it becomes damaged or
worn.
Two seat belt brackets have been provided, one
each fender, to hang each end of the seat belt from
when it is not I use. This helps to keep the seat
belt clean, and also saves it from rubbing against
the fender and scratching the paint.

Rear View Mirror
Mounted on a detented, spring loaded arms, the
mirror can be quickly moved out of the way when
operating in the orchards or amongst fruit vines.
By loosening the screws on the clamp, the head
may be re-positioned on the arm to provide
maximum rearward vision.
