ATTACHING THE SEAT
For shipping reasons, seats are either fas-
tened to the tractor seat’s pivot bracket with
a plastic tie, or mounted backward to the
pivot bracket. In either case, free the seat
form its shipping position and remove the
two hex screws (or knobs, on models so
equipped) from the bottom of seat before
proceeding with instructions below.
• Position the shoulder screws (found on the
base of the seat) inside the slot openings
in the seat pivot bracket.
• Slide the seat slightly rearward in the seat
pivot bracket, lining up the rear slots in the
pivot bracket with the remaining two holes
in the seat’s base.
• Select desired position for the seat, and
secure with the two hex screws/knobs re-
moved. Do not overtighten. See Figure 3.
