tires. Block machine securely to prevent it from
falling. Remove support plates.

the castle nuts are tight and the cotter pins are inserted
fully and have at least one leg bent to secure in place.

WARNING

Operator Protective Structure and Seat Belts must
be installed and all mounting hardware tightened
securely before starting or operating machine.

STEP 5

Mounting of seat belts is very important. Assemble
carefully using the sequence shown. The seat belt with
the latch plate is typically attached at the outside
mounting hole. The seat belt with the buckle is attached
at the inside or middle mounting hole. Tighten hardware
to a snug rotating fit as described below.

IMPORTANT! The large 2 1/2” diameter flat washers
must be installed on the inside surface of the seat
support structure. See Figure 1.3.

1. Remove the top two bolts from the fuel tank straps

and slide tank out. This will allow clearance to
install the bolt used to mount the right seat belt.
See Figure 1.4.

NOTE: tank straps remain loose until STEP 6, Operator
Protective Structure installation has been completed.
