Step 1: Unboxing Cut and remove all plastic away from the Zero Turn (or as much as you can) to expose the base of the mower. Questions? Call us at 02-4257-4787 or visit us at www.bbta.com.au...

Step 3: Untying from the cage Go around the mower and remove all wires holding the zero turn to its cage (you may need to use bolt cutters or a good pair of wire cutters). Be sure to do a second walk around to ensure all wires are cut or the zero turn will stay attached to the cage.
Step 4: Strapping the mower up Using appropriate lifting slings of the same length attach to each corner of the zero turn ensuring knots are tight and wont slip. Attach the slings diagonally across the mower to ensure the lifting point is centered with the weight. (the best way to do this is feed the strap through itself on one side and use an appropriate D shackle on the other side) Questions? Call us at 02-4257-4787 or visit us at www.bbta.com.au...
Step 5: Lifting the mower out When lifting the zero turn out you need to be sure what you are using is capable, as the dry weight of the mower is 450kg. When using a forklift make sure your tynes are together and tilted all the way back preventing the straps from slipping off.
Step 6: Getting rid of the cage Once the zero turn has been lifted off the cage you should be able to pull the cage out of the way and safely place the zero turn on its wheels. Before disposing of the cage give it a check over as extras like the roll bar may be attached to it.
Step 7: Installing the seat Place the seat aligned with the front seat brackets and the safety bolt on the back of the seat. Remove the butterfly nut from the safety bolt before installing the seat. Questions? Call us at 02-4257-4787 or visit us at www.bbta.com.au...
