SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
For the comfort of the operator, a single lever
adjustable seat is provided to set the fore to aft
position of the seat. Adjust the seat to the most
comfortable position that allows you to operate all
controls and pedals.
WARNING: Do not adjust the seat when
the tractor is moving, as this could
cause the operator to lose momentary
control of the tractor and result in an
accident.
• To adjust the seat, pivot the seat adjustment
lever to the left and hold while repositioning the
seat to the desired position.
• After repositioning the seat, release the lever to
lock the seat in position. Slide the seat either
slightly forward or rearward to assure it is
locked, or until engagement of the lock is felt.
See Figure 25.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT
WARNING: Always wear the seat belt
when operating the tractor equipped
with a ROPS. If the ROPS has been
lowered or removed, the seat belt
should not be used.
NOTE: If the belt is too long or too short to be prop-
erly adjusted using the upper belt webbing, the
adjustment clip should be repositioned. To do so,
firmly grasp the adjustment clip and pull the lower
webbing though the clip. Move the clip toward the
anchor point at the seat to shorten the belt, or
toward the buckle link the lengthen the belt.
Adjust the final length of the seat belt using the
adjuster clip, buckle link, and upper belt webbing on
the right half of the belt.
• To lengthen the belt, hold the ends of the
adjuster clip and tip upward the side of the clip
toward the buckle link. See Figure 26.
• While holding the clip, pull the upper webbing
of the belt through the clip toward the buckle
link. See Figure 26.
• Hold the belt and pull the buckle link to the left
to remove the slack in the upper webbing of the
belt between the adjuster clip and the link.

upward, pull the free end of the belt webbing to
the right, and pull the buckle link to the left to
remove the slack.
