Cub Cadet 53AH8ST3050, 53AH8ST5050 service manual Suspension Seat

G.Suspension Seat

1.This unit is equipped with a heavy-duty vinyl fabric-covered seat incorporating adjustable armrests, an adjustable seatback, an adjust- able fore/aft track, a weight/ride adjustable mechanical suspension system, and an Operator Presence Control (OPC).

2.An OPC in the form of a switch, is integrated into the seat bottom and is connected to the machine electrical system. The weight/ride adjustment lever is located on the right side of the seatback and incorporates three set- tings: light = 110 lbs, medium = 195 lbs, and heavy = 286 lbs. Lever up is light and down is heavy. Weight adjustment should be made without the operator sitting in the seat. The seatback recline adjustment is also on the right side between the seat back and seat bottom, and it provides up to 10 degrees.

3.The fore/aft single-locking adjustment tracks operate on roller-bearings for smooth and almost effortless operation. The lever for seat track actuation is near the right front corner of the seat bottom, and allows fore/aft adjust- ment of 4”.

4.The seat is attached to pivotal brackets, which allow the seat assembly to pivot for- ward onto the foot platform area.

Note: The seat base must be secured by properly latching to the frame, otherwise, the seat assembly could tilt forward. The Operator Presence Control must be connected to the electrical wiring harness.
