Troubleshooting, Adjustments, & Service
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
The seat and ground speed control levers should be
adjusted so that operator’s elbows are supported by the
arm rests when his/her hands are on the controls, and
the ground speed control levers can be moved through
their full range of motion without contacting the
operator’s legs.
Seat Position Adjustment
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
adjustment lever (A, Figure 20) towards the left hand
side of the machine, slide the seat to the desired
position, and release the lever.
