-Note-
When performing steps 5 through 8 keep in
mind that the (3) three tie rods will have
one end that has RH threads and one end
that has LH threads.
1. Remove all crating and packing materials.
Lay out the mounting hardware according to
the “where used” list on page 5.
2. Bolt the hitch bracket onto the rear of the
engine deck using (3) three 3/8-16 x 1-1/4"
bolts and (3) three 3/8-16 elastic stop nuts.

l (2) two RH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20
ball joints.
-Note-
If you are mounting the hitch bracket to an
older machine with only two holes on
the rear of the engine deck, you may use the
hitch bracket to locate the third hole.
Bolt the hitch bracket to the existing two
holes and mark the third hole using a
center punch. Unbolt the hitch bracket and
drill a 13/32" hole at the mark for the
third hole. You are now ready to mount the
hitch bracket.

A final adjustment may be required on the
tie rods for the sulky wheels to be aligned
straight with the SWZ machine and to have
proper toe-in adjustment. To adjust the tie
rods, loosen the two jam nuts and turn the
tie rod tube to lengthen or shorten the tie
rod. Retighten jam nuts.

tie rod to the small lever on the steering

SWZ should be raised to the highest
position. Refer to the SWZ's technical
manual for this adjustment.
-Note-
There are extra bolt holes to choose from
when mounting the seat spring to the sulky
frame and mounting the seat and seat plate
to the seat spring. Choose the ones that
will provide the most comfort for the
individual users.
-Note-
To move the sulky when not attached to the
mower, you must lock the wheels in a
forward position. The wheels can be
locked in the forward position by inserting
the ring pin through the holes in the sulky
frame and the steering bellcrank.
