HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
Yourtractor is equipped with an operator
presence sensing switch. When engine
isrunning, any attempt by the operator to
leave the seat without first setting the
parking brake will shut off the engine.
TO SET PARKING BRAKE
• Depress clutch/brake pedal intofull
=BRAKE" position and hold.
• Place parking brake lever in
=ENGAGED" position and release pres-
sure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal
should remain in =BRAKE" position.
Make sure parking brake will hold trac-
tor secure.
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glass-
es or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjust-
ments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over specta-
cles, or standard safety glasses.

tle reduces the battery charging rate.

mower performance.

warm engine.
