Determine The Model
of Your Rider
Since this manual is designed for installation of this
weight kit system on several different rider units, it is
important for you to determine which model of rider you
have. Therefore you will know which set of instructions in
the following pages to follow.
To determine which model of rider you have, you will
need to locate the rider’s model plate, located under the
seat. Simply flip the seat up and locate the model plate,
which will consist of an 11 digit/letter model number
and a serial number. For ease in this installation and
for future use, copy your rider’s model number & serial
number below now:
Rider Model Number:__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
Rider Serial Number:__ __ ___________ __________
The 5th, 6th & 7th numbers from the left in your model
number determine your rider’s model series. See Fig.
1- 2.
NOTE:
References to LEFT
and RIGHT indicate
the left and right
sides of the tractor
when facing forward
in the operator’s
position. Reference to
the FRONT indicates
the grille end; to the
REAR, the rear end of
the tractor.
When you fill in your model number in the space above,
the actual model series number should fall into the gray
shaded area.
Now that you have determined what model rider you are
attaching this grass bag collection system to, follow the
instructions on the following pages according to your
model of rider.
