SECTION 2: FINDING YOUR MODEL NUMBER

This Operator’s Manual is an important part of your new rider. It will help you assemble, prepare and maintain your rider. Please read and understand what it says.

Before you start to prepare your tractor for its first use, please locate the model plate and copy the information from it in this Operator’s Manual. The information on the model plate is very important if you need help from your dealer or the MTD customer support department.

Every tractor has a model plate. You can locate it by lifting the seat and looking at the seat bracket.

An example of what the model plate will look like is shown below.

This is where your model number will be.

XXX-X-XXX-X-XXX XXXXXXXXXXX

This is where your serial number will be.
