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 brake pedal (B) all the way
down and hold.
2. Pull parking brake lever (C) up and
hold, release pressure from brake
pedal (B), then release parking brake
lever. Pedal should remain in brake
position. Make sure parking brake will
hold tractor secure.
STOPPING
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control
between half and full speed (fast) posi-
tion, before stopping, may cause engine to
"backfire".
• Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position
and remove key. Always remove key
when leaving tractor to prevent unau-
thorized use.
• Never use choke (N) to stop engine.
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
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, as described above, before leaving
the operator's position.
