ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRACTORS WITH DUAL MOWER DECK SUSPENSION BRACKETS

STEP 1: (Figure 8)

Identify and position the right base bracket as shown in figure 6. Attach the right base bracket to the front holes of a round base leg tube. Make only finger tight. Repeat for the left base bracket.

STEP 2: (Figure 9)

Insert the ends of the base leg tubes into the upper base tube.

STEP 3: (Figure 10)

Raise the tractor seat and remove the springs and bolts from the rear fender using a 1/2" socket for GT tractors or a 9/16" socket for LT tractors.

STEP 4:

Place the base tube assembly onto the rear fender. Check for clearance with the seat lowered and the rear bagger (optional) attached. If needed, reposition the base brackets to a different set of holes in the base tubes.

STEP 5: (Figure 10)

Attach the seat springs and the base brackets to the rear fender using the spring bolts that you removed. On GT tractors, if the bolts removed were less than 1" long, use 5/16" x 1" bolts and 5/16" washers from the parts bag. Align the base leg tubes on the rear fender. Tighten with moderate force using a 1/2" socket (GT) or a 9/16" socket (LT).

STEP 6: (Figure 11)

If the base tubes rest down against the top of the fender, install the rear base support brackets. Attach an adhesive pad to the bottom of each bracket then attach the brackets to the appropriate holes in the base support tubes. Adjust the brackets to lift the base tubes above the fender, then tighten.

STEP 7:

Tighten the bolts assembled in step 1.

STEP 8:
