Attaching Thesteering Wheel; Identifying The Mulchplug (Ifsoequipped) - Yard-Man 604 Operator's Manual

Attaching TheSteering Wheel
• If the steering wheel for your tractor did not come
attached, the hardware for attaching it has been
packed within the steering wheel, beneath the
steering wheel cap. Carefully pry off the steering
wheel cap and remove the hardware.
NOTE:
There are two different styles of steering
wheel cap. See Figure 6. Styles vary by model.
• With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight
forward, place the steering wheel over the steering
shaft.
• Place the washer (with the cupped side down) over
the steering shaft and secure with the hex bolt. See
Figure 6.
• Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the
steering wheel and push downward until it "clicks"
into place.

Identifying the MulchPlug (ifsoequipped)
On tractor models so equipped, a mulch plug can either
be found within the cutting deck's discharge opening or
packed separately with your unit.
NOTE:
Refer to Mulchingon page 18 for more detailed
information.
If you'd prefer to operate the cutting deck without
mulching, simply remove the mulch plug by
unthreading the plastic wing nut which fastens it to the
cutting deck. This will allow the clippings to discharge
out of the discharge opening during operation. See
Figure 7.
