The seat spring has three holes to provide a
forward or backward adjustment of the seat. To
check for the best seat position, sit in the seat and
work the foot pedal. If adjustment is needed,
unfasten the seat and replace it in a forward or
backward hole. See figure 3.
Place seat on spring and secure with lockwasher
(8) and hex nut (C). See figure 4.
STEERING WHEEL
First, place the steering shaft cover over the
steering shaft. Then position the steering wheel
on top of the steering shaft. You will note there is
a hole in the steering wheel hub, in the steering
shaft cover and in the steering shaft. Align these
three holes and secure the three parts by driving a
spring pin (A) through the three aligned holes.
(Alignment can be simplified by inserting a punch
or small rod through the three holes from the side
opposite the spring pin insertion side.) See figure
2.
