Seat Adjustment
The seat on the Hustler ® Raptor mower can be adjusted
forward and rearward by pivoting the seat platform up and
forward. Then, loosen the four cap screws on the underneath
side of the seat platform. Position the seat where you have the
best control of the machine and are the most comfortable and
then tighten the cap screws.
WARNING
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or
wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.
