the steering wheel, loosen the four cap screws in the
seat support, and slide the seat assembly forward or
rearward to the position which is most comfortable for
the operator. (See Figure 21.)
Retighten the cap screws after the seat is adjusted.

To avoid possible injury, disengage PTO
switch, move gear shift lever into neutral,
engage the brake lock and turn the ignition
"OFF" before working on the machine.
A WARNING
The clutch may be hot. Allow the engine
and clutch to cool before adjusting the
clutch.
The clutch is factory adjusted and should not require
further adjustment under normal operating conditions.
However, if the clutch fails to operate properly, check
as follows:
Using a feeler gauge, check the air gap. (See Figure

ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL
A WARNING
Do not adjust the steering wheel when the
tractor is moving. Adjusting the steering
wheel while the tractor is moving could
cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor.
Before starting the tractor, adjust the steering wheel

To position the steering wheel, push the tilt wheel
release lever down (as shown in Figure 23) and move
the steering wheel forward or rearward. Release the
lever when the steering wheel is comfortably posi¬
tioned. Gently push the steering wheel forward and
rearward once to be sure wheel is locked in place. Make
sure tilt wheel release lever is all the way up as shown
in Figure 24.
