The operation of any tractor can result in foreign ob ects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shieldswhile operating your tractor or performing any
ad ustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectac es or standard safety g asses.
HOWTO USEYOURTRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE
Your tractoris equipped with an operator
presence sensing switch, When engine
is running, any attempt by the operator to
leave the seat without firstsetting the
parking brake will shut off the engine.
1. Depress clutch/brake pedal into full
=SRAKE" position and hold.
2, Place parking brake lever in =EN-
GAGED" position and release
preasum from clutch/brake pedal.
Pedal should remain in "BRAKE"
position, Make sure parking brake will
hold tractor secure.

STOPPING
MOWER BLADES -
• TO stop mower blades,move attach-
ment clutchlever to "DISENGAGED"
position.
GROUND DRIVE -
• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/
brake pedal intofull "BRAKE" position.
• Move gearshift leverto neutral (N)
position.
ENGINE-
• Move throttle control to slow position.
NOTE: Failure to move throttlecontrolto
slow position and allowing engine to idle
before stopping may cause engine to
"backfire'.
• Turn ignition key to "OFF"position and
remove key. Always remove kay when
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized
use.
• Never use choke to stop engine.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch
in any positionother than "OFF" wilt
cause the batteryto be discharged,
(dead).
NOTE: Under certain conditionswhen
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
stoppingtractor on grass areas.
,_CAUTION: Always stoptractor
completely, as described above, before
leaving the operator's position;to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USETHROTTLE CONTROL
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 performance.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND
BACKWARD
The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the gearshift lever.
1. Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal
depressed and gearshift lever in
neutral (N) position.
2. Move gearshift lever to desired
position.
3. Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to
start movement.
IMPORTANT: Bringtractor to a complete
stop before shiftingor changing gears.
Failure to do so will shorten the useful life
of your transaxle.
TO ADJUST MOWER CU'I'rlNG HEIGHT
The position of the attachment liftlever
determines the cutting height.
• Grasp liftlever.
• Press plunger with thumb and move
lever to desired position.
The cutting height range is approxi-
mately 1-1/2 to 4". The heightsare
measured from the groundto the blade
tip with the engine not running. These
heights are approximate and may vary
depending upon soil conditions, height of
grass and types of grass being mowed.
