SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE SEAT

For the comfort of the operator, a single lever adjustable seat is provided to set the fore to aft position of the seat. Adjust the seat to the most comfortable position that allows you to operate all controls and pedals.

WARNING: Do not adjust the seat when the tractor is moving, as this could cause the operator to lose momentary control of the tractor and result in an accident.

To adjust the seat, pivot the seat adjustment lever to the left and hold while repositioning the seat to the desired position.

After repositioning the seat, release the lever to lock the seat in position. Slide the seat either slightly forward or rearward to assure it is locked, or until engagement of the lock is felt. See Figure 24.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT

WARNING: Always wear the seat belt when operating the tractor equipped with a ROPS. If the ROPS is removed, the seat belt should not be used.

NOTE: If the belt is too long or too short to be prop- erly adjusted using the upper belt webbing, the adjustment clip should be repositioned. To do so, firmly grasp the adjustment clip and pull the lower webbing though the clip. Move the clip toward the anchor point at the seat to shorten the belt, or toward the buckle link the lengthen the belt.

Adjust the final length of the seat belt using the adjuster clip, buckle link, and upper belt webbing on the right half of the belt.

To lengthen the belt, hold the ends of the adjuster clip and tip upward the side of the clip toward the buckle link. See Figure 25.

While holding the clip, pull the upper webbing of the belt through the clip toward the buckle link. See Figure 25.

Hold the belt and pull the buckle link to the left to remove the slack in the upper webbing of the belt between the adjuster clip and the link.
