adjustments that enhance operator comfort. The seat (1) can be moved forward and
backward, as well as from side to side on the operator’s platform. Forward and backward seat
movement is controlled by a lever (2, Figure 3-7) on the left side of the seat. Side to side seat
movement is controlled by a lever (3, Figure 3-7) on the right side of the seat. In addition, a
knob (4, Figure 3-7) on the front of the seat allows the operator to adjust the seat suspension
