SECTION 3: TRACTOR SET-UP
NOTE: This manual covers specifications of two models. Please follow instructions and parts numbers pertaining to
your tractor only.
Attaching the Battery Cables
NOTE: If these cables are already attached, proceed to “Attaching Steering Wheel.”
IMPORTANT:
The positive battery terminal is marked Pos.
(+). The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
1. The positive cable (heavy red wire) is secured to the
positive battery terminal (+) with a hex bolt and hex
nut at the factory. Make certain that the rubber boot
covers the terminal to help protect it from corrosion.
2. Remove the hex bolt and wing nut from the negative
cable. See Figure 1.
3. Remove the black plastic cover, if present, from the
negative battery terminal and attach the negative
cable (heavy black wire) to the negative battery
terminal (–) with the bolt and wing nut.
4. Make certain the hold-down strap is in position over
the battery, securing it in place.
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown on top of battery, charge the battery as instructed on
page 18 of this manual prior to operating the tractor.
Attaching The Steering Wheel
1. The hardware for attaching the steering wheel has
been packed within the steering wheel, beneath
steering wheel cap. Carefully pry off the steering
wheel cap and remove the hardware.
2. With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight
forward, place the steering wheel over the steering
shaft. Place the washer (with the cupped side down)
over the steering shaft and secure with the hex bolt.
See Figure 2.
3. Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the
steering wheel and push downward until it “clicks” into
place.
Attaching The Seat
NOTE: For shipping reasons, seats are either fastened
to the tractor seat’s pivot bracket with a plastic tie, or
mounted backward to the pivot bracket. In either case,
free the seat from its shipping position and remove the
two knobs from the bottom of seat before proceeding with
instructions below.
• If your seat was shipped mounted backwards on the
seat pivot bracket, pull out the tab found on the seat
stop and hold it open while sliding the seat off the seat
pivot bracket. See Figure 3.
1. Position the shoulder screws (found on the base of
the seat) inside the slot openings in the seat pivot
bracket. See Figure 3.
