Attaching The Seat
If the seat for your tractor was not attached at the factory, follow
the applicable instructions below to attach it.
NOTE: For shipping reasons, some seats are not attached at
the factory. If this is the case, free the seat from its shipping
position and remove the hex screw (or knob screw if applicable)
from the bottom of seat before proceeding with the following
instructions.
Position the seat facing forward over the seat pivot bracket, 1.
with the two forward seat mount tabs fitting into the
provided grooves in the seat pivot bracket.
Slide the seat rearward and align the center mounting 2.
hole in the seat with the slot in the seat pan. Insert the hex
screw (or knob screw if applicable) previously removed. Do
not tighten at this point.
Adjust the seat to the optimal operator preferred location, 3.
this may mean actually sitting in the seat to decide what
feels best to the operator. Keep in mind the operator needs
to be able to fully operate all pedals comfortably while
sitting back in the seat.
Tighten the hex screw (or knob screw if applicable) at this time.4.
To adjust the position of the seat, loosen the hex screw (or 5.
knob screw if applicable) on the bottom of the seat. Slide
the seat forward or backward as desired. Retighten the hex
screw (or knob screw if applicable). See Fig. 3-5.
Mulch Plug (if equipped)
On tractor models so equipped, a mulch plug can be found
within the cutting deck’s discharge opening.
NOTE: Refer to Mulching in the “Operation” section of this
manual for more detailed information.
If you’d prefer to operate the cutting deck without mulching,
simply remove the mulch plug by unthreading the plastic
wing nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This will allow
the clippings to discharge out of the discharge opening during
operation. See Fig. 3-6.
