shifting collar in the transmission. Then try to shift
gears.
CLUTCH-BRAKEPEDAL
The clutch-brake pedal is located on the left side of
the lawn tractor. Depressing the clutch-brake pedal
part way disengages the clutch. Pressing the pedal all
the way down disengages the clutch and engages the

lever and the clutch-brake pedal.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running.
AMMETER(Optional)
If your lawn tractor is equipped with an ammeter, it
registers the rate of battery charge or discharge. The
ammeter will register on the discharging side when
starting the engine. It should register on the opposite
side (charging) when the engine is running in the fast
position until the battery is completely charged. With a
fully charged battery or with the engine idling, the
ammeter will not show a charge.
INTERLOCKS(NotShown)
Interlock safety switches are located by the clutch-
brake pedal, the lift and disengagement lever, the
shift lever and under the seat.

must be depressed all the way and the lift and disen-
gagement lever must be in the disengaged position.
Before the unit can be shifted into reverse or if the
operator leaves the seat, the lift and disengagement
lever must be in the disengaged position.
