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 a wide vision safety mask over spectacles, or stan-
dard safety glasses.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
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
parkingbrake will shutoff the engine.
TO SET PARKING BRAKE
• Depress clutch/brake pedal into full
"BRAKE" position and hold.
• Place parking brake lever in =EN-
GAGED" position and release pressure
from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should
remain in =BRAKE" position. Make sure
parking brake will hold tractor secure.

ment clutch lever to =DISENGAGED"
position.
GROUND DRIVE -
• To stop ground drive, depress
clutch/brake pedal into full "BRAKE"
position.
• Turn ignition key to =OFF" position and
remove key. Always remove key when
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized
use.
• Never usa choke to stop engine.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch
in any position other than =OFF" will cause
the battery to be discharged, (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 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; to empty grass
catcher, etc.
THROTTLE CONTROL
Always operate engine at full throttle.
• Operating engine at less than full throt-
tle reduces the battery charging rate.
• Full throttle offers the best bagging and
mower performance.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the motion control lever.
• Start tractor with motion control lever in
neutral (N) position.
• Release parking brake and clutch/brake
pedal.
• Slowly move motion control lever to
desired position.
NOTE: The effort to move the motion con-
trol lever will reduce after the first few
hours of use. This is normal.
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
The cutting height is controlled by turning
the height adjustment knob in desired
direction.

The curing height range is approximately
1-1/2" to4". The heights are measured
from the ground to the blade tip with the
engine not running. These he,ghts are ap-
proximate and may vary depending upon
soil conditions, height of grass andtypes
of grass being mowed.
