OPERATION
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 a wide
vision safety mask for over _e spectacles or standard safety glasses.

sition.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow (-=i)
position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may
cause engine to "backfire".
• Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and remove key.
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent
unauthorized use.
• Never use choke to stop engine,
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, asdescribed above, before leav-
ing the operator's position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 9)
Always operate engine at full throttle.
• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the
battery charging rate_
• Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor-
mance,
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
(See Fig. 9)
The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the
motion control lever_
• Start tractor with motion control lever in neutral (N)
pos3tion.
• Release parking brake and clutch/brake pedal.
• Slowly mow motion control lever to desired position;"
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 9)
The cuttingheight iscontrolledby turning the heightadjust-
ment knob in desired direction.
• Turn knob clockwise ((-_) to raise cutting heighL
• Turn knob counterclockwise (_) to lower cutting
height.
The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2 ° to 4 °. The
heights are mi_asured from the ground to the blade tipw_
the engine not running. These heights are approximate
and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of
grass and types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cutto approximately 2-1/2
inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches
dudng hot months. For healthier and better looking
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.
- For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in
height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to desired height.
