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 recommendstandard safety glasses or a wide vision safety
maskworn over spectacles.
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 clutch/brake pedal (B) all the
way down and hold.
2. Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold,
release pressure from clutch/brake pedal
(B), then release parking brake lever. Ped-
al should remain in brake position. Make
sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.
STOPPING
MOWER BLADES -
• To stop mower blades, move attachment
clutch clutch lever to disengaged position
ENGINE -
• Move throttle control (D) between half
and full speed (fast) position.
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 run-
ning, hot engine exhaust gases may cause
"browning" of grass. To eliminate this pos-
sibility, always stop engine when stopping
tractor on grass areas.
_,CAUTION: Always stop tractor
completely, as described above, and set
parking brake before leaving the operator's
position.

brake pedal all the way down.
• Move gear shift lever (J) to neutral posi-
tion.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D)

(fast) reduces engine's operating ef-
ficiency.

performance.

ing a cold engine. Do not use to start a
warm engine.
