Seat Adjustment
WARNING: Do not adjust
the seat when the tractor is
moving. Adjusting the seat

feature of this tractor. To adjust the
seat forward or back, slide the seat
adjustment lever to the left and
reposition the seat to the desired
location. Once you have found a
comfortable position, release the seat
adjustment lever. See Figure 14.
