The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown intothe
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

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE
Your tractor is equipped with an operator
presence sensing switch. When engine
is running, any attempt 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
hold, release pressure from clutch/
brake pedal (B), then release park-
ing brake lever. Pedal should remain
in brake position. Make sure parking
brake will hold tractor secure.
• Move motion control lever (J) to neutral
position.
ENGINE -
• Move throttle control (D) between half
and full speed (fast) position.
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control be-
tween half and full speed (fast) position, be-
forestopping, may cause engine to"backfire".
• Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position
and remove key. Always remove key
when leaving tractor to prevent unau-
thorized use.
• 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: Under certain conditions when
tractor is standing idle with the engine
running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate
this possibility, always stop engine when
stopping tractor on grass areas.
_,CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-
pletely, as described above, and set parking
brake before leaving the operator's position.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D)
Always operate engine at full speed (fast).
• Operating engine at less than full speed
(fast) reduces engine's operating ef-
ficiency.
• Full speed (fast) offers the best mower
performance.
TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (N)
Use choke control whenever you are start-
ing a cold engine. Do not use to start a
warm engine.
• To engage choke control, pull knob out.
Slowly push knob in to disengage.
