Adjustments, Removing The Tractor From Storage

5. Lubricate all lubrication points.

NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your tractor. They may cause damage to electrical components; spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

Removing The Tractor From Storage

•Check the engine oil.

•Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.

•If drained before storing, fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh gasoline.

•Add clean, fresh fuel.

•Start the engine and allow to idle for a few minutes to ensure engine is operating properly.

•Drive the tractor without a load to make certain all the tractor systems are functioning properly.

Adjustments

WARNING! Shut the engine off, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake before making adjustments. Protect your hands by using heavy gloves when handling the blades.

Adjusting RH & LH Drive Control Levers

The RH and LH drive control levers can be adjusted up or down and fore-and-aft for the comfort of the operator. The drive control levers can be placed in either of two height positions, and/or can be moved forward or rearward within the range of the slot in each control lever mounting bracket.

To adjust the drive control lever height, proceed as follows:

•Remove the flange lock nut, flat washer, and hex screw securing the lever to the pivot bracket.

•While supporting the control lever to keep it from falling, remove the hex insert flange lock nut and shoulder screw from the bottom of the control lever and pivot bracket. Refer to Figure 6-5.

•Reposition the control lever to align with the other set of holes in the pivot bracket and insert the shoulder screw removed earlier. Fasten with the hex insert flange lock nut and tighten until snug.

•Insert the hex screw w/washer through the control lever slot and the pivot bracket. Thread the flange lock nut onto the screw, but do not tighten now.

•If you are going to adjust the control levers forward or rearward, proceed to the next step. If not, fully tighten the flange lock nut.

Adjusting the Operators Seat

•To adjust the position of the seat, move and hold the seat adjustment lever toward the left. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position; then release the adjustment lever. Make sure seat is locked into position before operating the tractor. See Figure 6-4.
