tions below to attach it.
1. Remove the two hex screws and nuts from the seat pivot bracket.
2. Align the front holes of the seat mounting bracket with the holes in the seat
pivot bracket on your tractor and secure with previously removed hex screws
and nuts. See A in Figure 4.
3. Plug the wiring harness into the seat safety switch in the bottom of the seat,
as shown in B of Figure 4.

Tire Pressure
Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times. Never exceed the maximum inflation
pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
The recommended operating tire pressure is:
• Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires
• Approximately 14 psi for the front tires
IMPORTANT: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer's
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire
pressure could cause the cutting deck to mow unevenly.
