Assembly
Instructions
In the event your tractor was crated with the steering wheel and the seat removed for
shipping reasons, use the following instructions to properly assemble the parts.
WARNING: Do NOT operate the tractor without first attaching both the steering wheel AND the seat.
Doing so could result in serious injury to the operator.
Steering Wheel
•
Using your hands, place the tractor's front tires in
position for straight-ahead travel.
•
Remove the steering wheel cap from the center of the
steering wheel. Be careful not to lose the hex screw and
bell washer found beneath it.
•
Place the steering wheel (in position for straight-ahead
travel) directly onto the steering shaft found in the
center of the tractor's dash.
•
Place the bell washer (cupped side DOWN) over the
steering shaft.
•
Thread the hex screw into the steering shaft and tighten
securely.
•
Reinsert the steering wheel cap in the center of the
steering wheel.
Seat
•
Remove the four screws found threaded into the
underside of the seat.
•
Position the seat over the seat bracket on the tractor.
•
Pivot both the seat and the seat pivot bracket forward
so that the seat is resting on the steering wheel.
•
Hand thread the screws removed earlier through the
slots of the seat pivot bracket and into the holes in the
underside of the seat
•
To adjust the position of the seat, slide the seat
forward or backward until desired position is reached.
