ATTACHING THE SEAT

There are two different seat pivot brackets used on this series of garden tractor, a manual adjustment seat or a quick adjustment seat. See Figure 2 and 4 to identify which seat is on your unit. Follow the instructions which apply to your garden tractor.

MANUAL ADJUSTMENT SEAT

Remove the four screws which secure the seat to the seat pivot bracket. Turn the seat around and place in position against the seat pivot bracket, lining up the slotted holes in the pivot bracket with the holes in the seat. Select desired position for the seat, and secure with the four screws. See Figure 2.

NOTE: Your seat may have been shipped in a box. Remove the four screws from the bottom of seat and place seat in position against the seat pivot bracket. Follow the directions above to attach the seat.

QUICK ADJUSTMENT SEAT

Pull out tab on seat stop and hold open while sliding seat out of seat pivot bracket. See Figure 3. Turn the seat around and line up plastic seat spacers with the slots in seat pivot bracket. Slide seat in until front seat spacer engages the seat stop. See Figure 4. To adjust the seat refer to the adjustment section in this manual.

NOTE: If your seat was shipped in a box, line up plastic seat spacers with the slots in seat pivot bracket and slide seat in until front seat spacer engages seat stop.

WARNING: Before operating your unit, stand behind quick adjustment seat and pull back on seat, making sure seat is engaged in seat stop.

ATTACHING THE DECK LINKS (Hardware A)

The three adjustable deck links have been shipped unassembled. Attach as follows.

Start 1/2" hex nuts on eyebolts until nuts are flushed with ends of eyebolts. See Figure 5.

Insert eyebolts and hex nuts into the adjustable lift links located under the tractor. See Figure 5.

Thread eyebolts into the lift links and hex nuts. The left rear link should be adjusted so the eyebolt hangs about 3-1/2 inches below the lift link. The two front links should be adjusted so the eyebolts hang about 2-1/8 inches below the lift links. See Figure 5.
