Attaching The Steering 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.

1.With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight forward, place the steering wheel over the steering shaft.

2.Place the washer (with the cupped side down) over the steering shaft and secure with the hex bolt. See Figure 3.

3.Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the steering wheel and push downward until it “clicks” into place.

Attaching The Seat

If the seat for your tractor did not come attached, follow the instructions below to attach it.

NOTE: For shipping reasons, seats are either fastened to the tractor seat’s pivot bracket with a plastic tie, or mounted backward to the pivot bracket. In either case, free the seat form its shipping position and remove the two knobsfrom the bottom of seat before proceeding with applicable instructions below.

WARNING: Before operating this machine, make sure the seat is engaged in the seat stop, stand behind the machine and pull back on seat until fully engaged into stop.

2.Slide the seat slightly rearward in the seat pivot bracket, lining up the rear slots in the pivot bracket with the remaining two holes in the seat’s base.

3.Select desired position for the seat, and secure with the two knobs removed earlier. See Figure 4.
