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 rapairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles or standard safety glasses.

presence sensing switch. When engine

leave the seat without first setting the
parking brake will shut off the engine.

"BRAKE" position and hold.
2. Place parking brake lever in "EN-

(dead).

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.
_kCAUTION: Always stop tractor
completely, as described above, before
leaving the operator's position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.

throttle reduces the battery charging
rate.
