Mechanical Suspension Mechanism

1.To adjust the mechanical suspension mechanism, there is a lever on the front of the seat with an orange colored indicator arrow and guage.

2.Sit down in the operator’s position and look down at the center of the seat, flip the lever out towards the right and pull upward on the fold-out lever and “pump up” to increase seat load capacity and firmness. Push the lever downward to reduce the firmness and load capacity. Just center the orange-colored indicator on the guage to achieve your exact weight setting.

Lumbar Support

1.The knob on the back left of the operator’s seat can change the lumbar support from the top portion of the seat, to the lower portion and off. Rotate the knob to set the support to the desired area.

Connecting the Battery Cables

California Proposition 65 Warning: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Caution: When attaching battery cables, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.

For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment may have been left disconnected from the terminals at the factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:

1.Using the lever on the back of the seat frame, lift up on the lever and tilt the seat forward.

NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).

NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip ahead to step 2.

2.Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive battery terminal and attach the red cable to the positive battery terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-10.

Figure 3-10

3.Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative battery terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-10.

4.Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery terminal to help protect it from corrosion.

NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown on top/side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the Maintenance section your Operator’s Manual prior to operating the tractor.
