Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
Uncrating Instructions
The shipping crate is assembled together with nails. It
can be disassembled by prying or cutting the lumber
apart. Be careful not to scratch, dent, or cut the mower
and seat during disassembly. It is best if two people are
present while disassembling the crate.
1.
Remove end and side panels from shipping crate.
2.
Gently lift mower from crate floor with a hoist or other
suitable lifting device.
Torque Requirements
Refer to “Torque Values Chart” on page 58 to
determine correct torque values for common bolts. See
“Additional Torque Values” at bottom of chart for
exceptions to standard torque values.
Seat Assembly
Refer to Figure 1-1:
Depending on seat option, the mower may be shipped
with seat attached. If not, the seat (#1) is shipped factory
mounted to the hinged seat platform (#4) and attached to
the shipping crate with lag bolts. It may have already
been removed in step 1 under “Uncrating Instructions”.
If not, remove it now.
1.
Spread control levers (#2) fully apart before
attaching seat platform to mower frame.
2.
Insert flange bushing (#7) into holes “A” as shown.
3.
Attach platform (#4) with 3/8"-16 shoulder bolt (#5)
and hex flange lock nut (#6) as shown. Tighten lock
nuts to the correct torque.
4.
Connect mower switch wires to the seat switch
located under the seat.
5.
Zip tie wire for seat switch to seat pan.
6.
Hinge seat platform down. The platform will catch
automatically under the spring loaded latch (#3).
7.
Being careful not to cut seat material, remove
protective packing around seat.
8.
See “Seat Reach Adjustment” on page 25 for
positioning the seat forward and rearward.
IMPORTANT: Do not drive mower off the crate floor,
as this can bend or break components underneath
the mower, especially the transaxles. Lift mower off
the crate floor with a hoist or other suitable lifting
device. Be careful not to damage the paint and seat
while lifting the unit off the crate floor.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to cut seat material
when removing protective packing around the seat.
Cutting seat material will void its warranty.
