Now that you have set up your riding mower, it’s important to become acquainted
with its controls and features. Refer to “Figure 7”.
NOTE: References to LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, and REAR indicate that position on the
riding mower when facing forward while seated in the operator’s seat.
Cup Holder
The cup holder is located toward the rear of the RH console to the right of the
operator’s seat.
Storage Tray
The storage tray is located at the rear of the RH console.
Deck Height Index
The deck lift handle is located on the front/right of the console, and is used
to raise and lower the mower deck. Pull the handle to the left out of the
index notch and push downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise
the deck. When the desired height is attained, move the lift handle to the
right until fully in the index notch.
Deck Lift Handle
The deck lift handle is located on the front/right of the seat box frame, and
is used to raise and lower the mower deck. Pull the handle to the left out of
the index notch and push downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise
the deck. When the desired height is attained, move the lift handle to the
right until fully in the index notch.
RH and LH Drive Control Levers
The RH and LH control levers are located on each side of the operator’s seat. These
hinged levers pivot outward to open space to permit the operator to either sit in the
tractor seat, or to dismount the tractor. The levers must be fully opened out and in
the neutral position to start the tractor engine. When the levers are fully outward,
the parking brake is also engaged.
Each lever controls the respective RH or LH transmission. Consequently, these levers
control all of the movements of the tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these
control levers is quite different from conventional tractors, and will take some
practice to master. Refer to Operation for instructions on using the control levers.
Power Take-Off (PTO) Switch
The PTO switch is located on the RH console to the right of the operator’s seat. The
PTO switch operates the electric PTO clutch mounted on the bottom of the engine
crankshaft. Pull the switch knob upward to engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob
downward to disengage the clutch. The PTO switch must be in the “disengaged”
position when starting the engine.
