Raising/Lowering The Seat - Toro 31222 Operator's Manual

Changing the Weight Adjustment
The seat can be adjusted to provide a smooth and comfortable
ride.
Important: To adjust the seat for the drivers weight the
driver must be seated and the ignition key moved to the
On position.
The seat is adjusted for the driver's weight by pulling or
pressing the weight adjustment lever (Figure 25).
The driver's weight is adjusted correctly when the arrow is in
the middle clear area of the viewing window.
Within this viewing area, the seat can be adjusted to a
minimum spring movement.
When the minimum/maximum weight adjustment has been
reached, you can hear it reaching the upper or lower end stop.
Important: To prevent injury to the operator and/or
damage to the machine, the setting for the driver's
weight and the seat must be checked and adjusted
before the machine is operated.
Note: To avoid compressor damage during weight
adjustment, the compressor must be operated no longer than
1 minute.
