To install the seat: 
Step Action
Note All tools are included with exception of a socket wrench with a 13mm, a pair of sharp scissors as well as a tyre pressure gauge. 
1. Remove the two bolts from each side of the seat bottom frame.
2. Then, position the seat back brackets over the outer sides of the bottom mounting brackets. Ensure both seat back brackets are on the outside of the mounting brackets
3. Align the bolt holes as you lower the seat back. Allowing the tab on the seat back to rest against the bottom frame will assist in the alignment.
4. Insert the two bolts to secure each side of the seat back to the bottom frame and hand tighten each bolt.
5.

The seat back has been shipped with installed bolts that have been left loosened to aid in bracket alignment. 

Once the lower two bolts are installed, you can now firmly tighten all three bolts on both sides. It’s important that the connectors click in to place, or the mower may not run.

To adjust the seat: 
Step Action
1.  To move the seat forward or backward, lift and hold the seat adjustment lever.
2. Then slide the seat to the desired position. Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in position before operating the mower.
