Seat Adjustment
Refer to the Set-Up and Assembly section of this manual for seat
adjustment instructions.
Parking Brake Adjustment
WARNING: Never attempt to adjust the brakes
while the engine is running. Always disengage PTO,
move shift lever into neutral position, stop engine
and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor’s rear wheels
can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need of
adjustment. See an authorized Troy-Bilt Service Dealer to have
your brakes properly adjusted.
