TRACTOR PREPARATION

Remove the upper crating material from the shipping pallet, and cut any bands or tie straps securing the trac- tor to the pallet.

Use the lift handle to raise the deck to its highest posi- tion; engage the transmission bypass rods (Refer to SECTION 1, CONTROLS AND FEATURES); and care- fully roll the tractor off the shipping pallet. Disengage the bypass rods.

Remove the deck wash system nozzle adapter and oil drain tube from the manual bag and store for future use.

INSTALL OPERATOR’S SEAT

4.Align the grooves in the seat adjust spacers with the sides of the adjustment slots in the pivot bracket.

5.Slide the seat adjust spacers into the slots of the pivot bracket.

6.Continue to push the seat forward in the pivot bracket until the front/left shoulder bolt of the seat assembly passes forward of the stop bracket on the seat pivot bracket. See Figure 1.

Use the seat adjust lever to adjust the seat position. Re- fer to "Adjusting the Operator’s Seat" in Section 3 for seat adjustment instructions.

The operator’s seat was partially inserted into the seat pivot bracket for shipping purposes. To install the seat proceed as follows:

1.Cut any straps securing the seat assembly and the drive control levers. Remove any packing material.

NOTE: The seat is partially inserted into the slots of the seat pivot bracket. If the seat does not become disen- gaged from the pivot bracket when removing the pack- aging material, the pivot bracket may be pivoted upward and the seat pushed into place as described in step 6. If the seat does disengage the pivot bracket, install the seat as instructed in steps 2 through 6.

2.Pivot the seat pivot bracket partially upward. Refer to Figure 1.

3.Note the grooves in the seat adjust spacers attached to the bottom of the seat, then lift the seat and position above and to the rear of the pivot bracket.
