The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown intothe
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 recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles or standard safety glasses.
•Tum ignitionkey to =OFF"position and
remove key. Always remove key when
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized
use.
• Never use choke to stop engine.
IMPOFn'ANT: Leaving the ignitionswitch
in any position other than "OFF" wig
cause the battery to be discharged,
(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: Alwaysstop tractor
completely, as described above, before
leavingthe operator's position; to empty
grass catcher,etc.
TO USE THRO'rFLE CONTROL
Always operate engine at full throttle.
• Operating engine at less than full
throttle reduces the battery charging
rate.
• Fullthrottle offers the best bagging and
mower performance.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND
BACKWARD
The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the motion control lever.
1. Start tractor with motioncontrol lever
in neutral (N) position.
2. Release parking brake.
3. Slowly move motion control lever to
desired position.
TO ADJUST MOWER cu'n'ING HEIGHT
The position of the attachment lift lever
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 heights are
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,
