The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses
or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjustments
or repairs. We recommendstandard safety glasses or a wide vision safety
maskworn over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE
Your tractor is equipped with an operator
presence sensing switch. When engine is
running, anyattempt by the operator to leave
the seat without first setting the parking brake
will shut off the engine.
1. Depress clutch/brake pedal (B) all the
way down and hold.
2. Pull parking brake lever (C) up and release
pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal
should remain in brake position. Make
sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.
STOPPING
Never use choke (N) to stop engine.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in
any position other than "STOP" will cause
the battery to discharge and go dead.
NOTE: Undercertain conditions when tractor
is standing idle with the engine running, hot
engine exhaust gases may cause "brown-
ing" of grass. To eliminate this possibility,
always stop engine when stopping tractor
on grass areas.
,_,CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-
pletely, as described above, before leaving
the operator's position.
