reach the deck lift pedal and safely operate the
mower. See "Service and Adjustment" Section
of this manual.
• Remove protective wrap from the seat.
• Remove the three prong knobs and
washers from the seat and place in the
storage area in the right side console.
• Raise the seat pan up so that the bottom
can be easily accessed.

and washers, insert it thru the seat pan
slot and into the corresponding threaded
hole in the seat bottom.

• Tighten the three prong knobs in the
approximate position desired for the
seat.
• Connect the wiring harness to the seat
switch.
Adjustments may be required to position the
seat in the desired position. Refer to the
"Service and Adjustment" section of this
manual.
