Seat Adjustment
Pitch Adjustment
The pitch of the seat can be adjusted to one of three
positions. To adjust, remove the carriage bolts, spacers,
washers, and nuts (B, Figure 30) from the hinge and
reinstall them in the desired holes.
Seat Slide Adjustment
The seat can also be adjusted forward and back. Move
the lever (A, Figure 30), position the seat as desired, and
release the lever to lock the seat into position.
Seat Spring Adjustment
The seat springs (C, Figure 30) can be adjusted to
provide a softer or firmer ride. Tilt the seat forward and
slide the spring assembly (C) forward for a softer ride,
and back for a firmer ride.
Battery Charging
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may
be the result of a defect in the charging system or other
electrical component. If there is any doubt about the
cause of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to
replace the battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the
Battery & Cables in the Regular Maintenance Section.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by
the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings
included in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge
the battery until fully charged (until the specific gravity of
the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte
temperature is at least 60° F). Do not charge at a rate
higher than 10 amps.

WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from the
battery; the gasses coming from it are highly
explosive. Ventilate the battery well during
charging.
