Adjusting the Seat Ride
Suspension
The number of seat springs can be changed to
maximize rider comfort. More springs should be used
with heavier operators and on rough terrain. Fewer
springs should be used with lighter operators and
when mowing smooth, well established lawns. Always
keep the number of springs on the left and right side
the same when adding and removing springs.
