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 recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety
mask worn 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, 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 parking brake lever. Ped-
al should remain in brake position. Ensure
parking brake will hold tractor secure.
STOPPING
MOWER BLADES -
• To stop mower blades, move attachment
clutch clutch lever to disengaged position
• Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position
and remove key. Always remove key when
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized
use,
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 run-
ning, hot engine exhaust gases may cause
"browning" of grass. To eliminate this pos-
sibility, always stop engine when stopping
tractor on grass areas.
_II, 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 efficiency.
• Full speed (fast) offers the best mower
performance.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the gearshift lever (J).
