Seat Installation and Adjustment

Install seat and upper seat support.

The seat may be adjusted fore, aft, up, and down for operator comfort.

Moving the seat down also moves it forward; moving it up also moves it rearward. The fore and aft adjust- ment may be used with the up and down adjustment to obtain desired position.

Never operate backhoe unless manufacturer's 3-point hitch Saf-T-Lok limiter or sub-frame has been installed and adjusted. Operator's area (shown shaded in Figure 11) must be free from obstructions in a 40" radius from the seat.
