2. The seat bottom is covered with a heavy-duty vinyl
fabric. An OPS in the form of a switch, is integrated
into the seat bottom and is connected to the
machine electrical system. The seat back is also
covered with a heavy-duty vinyl fabric, it adjusts to
recline up to 16 degrees, (lever actuated on opera-
tor’s left side). The armrests are adjustable for oper-
ator comfort (knob inside armrests actuated from
the bottom). Roller bearing single-locking tracks
provide easy repositioning fore/aft over 8” (lever
actuated on lower right).
3. A mechanical suspension mechanism incorporates
weight/ride adjustment controls for operators in the
125 to 275 lb. weight range, pull upward on the
fold-out lever and “pump up” to increase seat load
capacity and firmness. Push the lever downward to
reduce the firmness and load capacity. Just center
the orange-colored indicator to achieve your exact
weight setting.
4. A retractable seat belt assembly with inertia-lock is
attached to the “ride” portion of the seat frame.
When the seat latch is released, the complete seat
assembly and seat base can be pivoted forward -
this provides access to the battery, hydraulic reser-
voir and filter, as well as some of the electrical sys-
tem and control linkages. The seat base must be
latched prior to machine operation.
Note:
The seat base must be secured by latching,
otherwise, the seat assembly could tilt forward. The
Operator Presence Sensor must be connected to the
electrical wiring harness.
H. Steering Control
1. This machine has an adjustable Steering column. It
can be adjusted rearward/upward or forward/down-
ward by repositioning the column. See Figure 1
below.
2. The Steering wheel has an adjustable tilt feature so
that the steering wheel can be infinitely adjusted to
individual needs. An adjustable handle is used to
release or apply clamping action that secures the tilt
steering wheel in the desired position. The handle
incorporates a “ratchet” feature to allow the handle
to be positioned as desired. See Figure 2 below.
3. The Steering column also has a swing-away func-
tion to enhance entry and egress. A ratchet-type
adjustable handle is used to release or tighten the
steering column which will allow it to swing away
or swing back. See Figure 3 below.
