Attaching The Seat

seat's pivot bracket with a plastic tie, or mounted backward to the pivot
bracket. In either case, free the seat from its shipping position being
careful not to bend or kink the wiring harness and follow the instruc-
tions below to attach it.
1. Remove the two hex screws and nuts from the seat pivot bracket.
2. Align the front holes of the seat mounting bracket with the holes in
the seat pivot bracket on your tractor and secure with previously
removed hex screws and nuts. See A in Figure 4.
3. Plug the wiring harness into the seat safety switch in the bottom of the
seat, as shown in B of Figure 4.
NOTE: The tractor will not operate with the wiring harness
disconnected.

Adjusting the Seat
To adjust the position of the seat, pull up and hold the seat adjustment
lever. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position; then
release the adjustment lever. Make sure seat is locked into position in
a seat-stop before operating the tractor. See Figure 5.
Before operating the tractor, make sure the seat is engaged in a
seat-stop. Engage the parking brake. Stand behind the machine and
pull back on seat until it clicks into place.
Tire Pressure
Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 psi. Equal
tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Never exceed the
maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
The recommended operating tire pressure is:
Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires
Approximately 14 psi for the front tires
IMPORTANT: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer's
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire pres-
sure could cause the cutting deck to mow unevenly.
