Slide the seat slightly rearward in the seat pivot bracket,
lining up the rear slots in the pivot bracket with the
remaining two holes in the seat’s base.
Select desired position for the seat, and secure with the
two knobs removed earlier. See Fig. 3-5.
To adjust the position of the seat on models so equipped,
loosen the two knobs on the bottom of the seat. Slide the
seat forward or backward as desired. Retighten the two
knobs.

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. 3-7. Make sure seat is locked into
position before operating the tractor.
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. 3-8.
