PTO clutch mounted on the bottom
of the engine crankshaft. Pull the
switch knob upward to engage the PTO
clutch or push the knob downward to

Ignition Switch
WARNING
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always
disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key to prevent unintended starting.
The ignition switch has three positions:
STOP — The engine and electrical system is turned off.
RUN — The tractor electrical system is energized.
START — The starter motor will turn over the engine.
Release the key immediately when the engine starts.
NOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge,
remove key from the ignition switch when tractor is not in use.

Transmission Bypass Rods
The transmission bypass rods (one for each RH and LH
transmission) are located on the rear of the tractor, next to the
engine. When engaged, the two rods open a bypass within the
hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed
short distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly section for
additional instructions.
CAUTION
Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the
rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to
the transmissions.

Cup Holder
The cup holder is located on the top of the console.
9
Storage Tray
The storage tray is located to the rear of the console.
10
Fuel Tank Cap
Turn the fill cap at least two clicks counter-clockwise and pull
upward to remove. The fuel cap is tethered to the tractor to
prevent its loss. Do not attempt to remove the cap from the
tractor. Fill tank to 1/2” (12.7 mm) below the bottom of the filler
neck, allowing some space in the tank for fuel expansion. Do not
overfill the tank.
Push the cap downward on the fuel tank fill neck and turn at
least two clicks clockwise to tighten. Always re-install the fuel
cap tightly onto the fuel tank after removing.
WARNING
Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is running. If the
engine is hot from recently running, allow to cool for at
least five minutes before refueling. Highly flammable
gasoline could splash onto the engine and cause a fire.
11
Hour Meter & LCD Service Minder
(If Equipped)
The LCD service minder will remind
the operator of maintenance
intervals for changing the engine
oil, air filter service, low engine and
low battery warnings. When the
key is rotated out of the STOP position but is not in the START
position, the LCD service minder & hour meter will briefly display
the battery voltage, followed by the tractor’s accumulated hours.
NOTE: When the ignition key is out of the STOP position the
hourglass symbol is illuminated/blinks to indicate it is
recording the hours of tractor operation, regardless of whether
the engine has been started.
CHANGE OIL
The LCD screen will alternate the letters “CHG”, followed by “OIL”,
followed by “SOON”, followed by the meter’s accumulated time.
“CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME” will alternate on the display for 7 minutes
after the meter reaches 50 hours. This oil service minder interval
will occur every 50 hours. Before the interval expires, change the
engine oil as instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual.
LOW OIL
NOTE: The low oil pressure function only works if the engine is
equipped with an oil pressure switch.
