2h. Remove the original seat plate from the
grab handle, and replace it with the seat
plate from the kit. See Figure 2a.3.
NOTE: The flange bearings that the seat pivots
on fit through the holes in the seat plate with the
shoulders to the outside, so that the bolts hold-
ing the grab handle to the vehicle trap the bear-
ings in position.
2i. Replace the original seat bracket with the
seat bracket contained in the kit. Position
the rear set of seat bracket mounting bolts
in the bracket before bolting the seat to
the bracket. See Figure 2a.4.
NOTE: The opening in the front of the new seat
bracket is vital. This opening allows cooling air
to enter the CVT enclosure. If the supply of
cooling air is restricted, the CVT belt will over-
heat and fail.
