To adjust the position of the seat on models equipped with
a seat adjustment lever, move the seat adjustment lever
(located under the seat) to the left and slide the seat forward
or rearward. See Fig. 3-8. Make sure seat is locked into
position before operating the tractor.
Mulch Plug
On tractor models so equipped, a mulch plug can be found
within the cutting deck’s discharge opening.
NOTE: Refer to Mulching in the “Operating Your Lawn Tractor”
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. 3-9.
