Assembly Instructions for Bronco Rider

Assemble as shown. NOTE: The replaceable foot platform (#SP-54) has two height settings to choose from for the desired ground clearance. When installing the coupler (#SP-75) into main frame (#SP-50) tighten bolt (#SP-19) and nut (#SP-21) only until slight resistance is felt when pivoting coupler back and forth. The two "pinch plates" that the coupler bolts in between are designed to be pulled together with the nut and bolt to compensate for wear Attach mower mounting bracket (SP-42) to the rear of the motor frame using the four bolts and lock nuts provided. Make absolutely certain not to interfere with any moving parts, controls, operator presence devices, etc. on the mower. The mower mounting bracket is height adjustable using the series of slots and holes. The connecting arm (#SP-51) can also be set in one of three positions in the mower mounting bracket for height adjustment. It is important to position the sulky as level as possible when installing. When not being used to ride on, the sulky should be disconnected from the connecting arm by removing the lynch pin (#SP-15). Be sure not to loose the machine spacer (#SP-24) when removing the arm. The connecting arm can then be raised and hung by the chain and clip. A hole in the rear end of the connecting arm accepts the clip. Lubricate all moving parts and check tire pressure daily. Keep all fasteners securely tightened. Replace any worn or broken parts at once.
