OPERATION
Releasing the Parking Brake
Depress the brake pedal/clutch-brake pedal and move the Park
Brake or Park Brake/CVT Drive Control Lever out of the ENGAGED
position and into the DISENGAGED position for Hydrostatic and
Foot Control CVT models. For CVT models, depress the brake
pedal/clutch-brake pedal and move the parking brake lever out
of the ENGAGED position and into the desired speed setting.
Reverse Caution Mode (If equipped)
The REVERSE CAUTION MODE position of the ignition switch
allows the tractor to be operated in reverse with the PTO (Blade
Engage) Lever in the engaged (ON) position.
NOTE: Mowing in reverse is not recommended.
WARNING
Use extreme caution while operating the tractor in
the REVERSE CAUTION MODE. Always look down and
behind before and while backing. Do NOT operate the
tractor with children or others around. Stop the tractor
immediately if someone enters the area.
To use the REVERSE CAUTION MODE:
NOTE: The operator MUST be seated in the tractor seat.
1. Start the engine as previously instructed.
2. Turn the ignition key from the NORMAL MOWING (a) position
to the REVERSE CAUTION MODE (b) position of the ignition
switch. See Figure 19.

the top, right corner of the ignition module for 3 seconds. The
red indicator light (d) at the top, left corner of the ignition
module will be ON while activated. See Figure 19.
4. Once activated (indicator light ON), the tractor can be driven
in reverse with the PTO (Blade Engage) in the engaged
(ON) position.
5. To stop, depress the clutch-brake pedal.
If tractor stalls with speed control in high speed, or if tractor will
not operate with Speed Control Lever in a low speed position,
proceed as follows:
1. Depress the clutch-brake pedal.
2. Place shift lever in NEUTRAL (N).
3. Restart engine.
4. Place CVT Drive Control Lever in highest speed position.
5. Release clutch-brake pedal fully.
6. Depress clutch-brake pedal.
7. Place CVT Drive Control Lever in desired position.
8. Place shift lever in either FORWARD (F) or REVERSE (R), and
follow normal operating procedures.
FOOT CONTROL CVT
1. Move the throttle into the FAST position.
2. Depress the brake pedal and move the Park Brake/CVT Drive
Control Lever out of the PARK position.
3. Place the shift lever in either the FORWARD (F) or REVERSE
(R) position.
4. Release clutch-brake pedal fully.
5. Gradually begin to apply pressure to the drive pedal. The further
down the pedal is pushed, the faster the tractor will travel in
the desired direction based on the position of the shift lever.
6. Stop the tractor by releasing the drive pedal and then
depressing the brake pedal.
Engaging the Parking Brake
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator leaves the
seat with the engine running or the engine will automatically
shut off.
To set the parking brake:
1. Depress the brake pedal (Hydrostatic models) or clutch-brake
pedal (CVT and Foot Control CVT models) completely down
with your left foot and hold it in that position.
2. Move the Park Brake Lever (Hydrostatic models and Foot
Control CVT models) or Park Brake/CVT Drive Control Lever
(CVT models) all the way down and into the Park Brake
Engaged position.
3. Remove your foot from the brake pedal/clutch-brake pedal.
After completing Step 3, the brake pedal should remain in the
down position. If it doesn’t, the parking brake is not engaged.
Repeat Steps 1-3 to engage the parking brake.
