Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the RH console. When
set in a given position, a uniform engine speed will be
maintained.
Push the throttle control handle forward to increase the
engine speed. The tractor is designed to operate with the
throttle control in the fast position (full throttle) when the
tractor is being driven and the mower deck is engaged.
Pull the throttle control handle rearward to decrease the
engine speed.
Choke Control
The choke control is located on the RH console
.The choke control determines the position of
the engine choke. Pull the knob out to choke the
engine; push the knob in to open the choke.
Fuel Valve
The fuel valve is located on the inner side of
the RH console. The valve switches the fuel
flow from the right and left tank and also
can shut off fuel flow to the engine. Rotate
the valve to the rear to open the flow from
the right fuel tank . Rotate the valve to the
front to open the flow from the left tank
. To shut off fuel from both tanks rotate the
valve towards the right of the tractor and the
OFF position. See the Operation section
for more information on using the fuel valve.
Transmission Oil Expansion Reservoir
The transmission oil expansion reservoir is connected by hoses
to the RH and LH transmission assemblies, and is located behind
the seat box. The function of the reservoir is to hold the natural
expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission warms
up during operation. See the Maintenance & Adjustments section
for more information on the transmission oil expansion reservoir.
LCD Service Minder & Hour Meter
When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP
not into the START position, the LCD Service Minder and Hour
Meter will briefly display the battery voltage, followed by the
tractor's accumulated hours.
NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the
ignition key is rotated out of the STOP
whether the engine is started.
The LCD Service Minder will remind the operator of maintenance
intervals for changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine
and low battery warnings.
Change Oil
The LCD will display the letters "CHG", followed by the letters
"OIL", followed by the letters "SOON", then finally followed by the
meter's accumulated time. "CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME" will alternate
on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours.
This oil service minder intervall will occur every 50 hours. Before
the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the
Maintenance section of this Operator's Manual.
Low Oil
The letters "LO" followed by the letters "OIL", then followed by
the meter's accumulated time will indicate the tractor is low on
oil. Stop the tractor immediately and check the engine oil level as
instructed in this Owner's Manual.
Low Battery
At startup, the battery voltage is briefly
displayed then changes to accumulated
hours. The letters "LO" will display
followed by the letters "BATT" and then followedyby the meter's
accumlulated time. "LO/BATT/TIME" is displayed on the LCD
when the voltage drops below 11.5 volts. When this occurs, the
battery is in need of a charge or the engine's charging system
is not generating sufficient amperage. Charge the battery as
instructed in the Service section of this manual or have the
charging system checked by your local service dealer.
Air Filter Service
The letters "CLN" will display, followed by
the letters "AIR", followed by "FILT", then
followed by the meter's accumulated time.
"CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME" will alternate on the
display for 7 minutes after the meter reachges 25 hours. This
air filter service minder time interval will be every 25 hours. On
intervalls that are common with oil service, the oil message will
be diplayed first followed by the air filter message.
Park Brake/
Cruise Control Lock Pedal
The park brake/cruise control lock pedal is
located at the base of the steering column.
It is used to engage the park brake when the
tractor is at rest. Engaging the lever while the
tractor is in motion allows the tractor to remain
at a constant ground speed without applying
pressure to the forward drive pedal. Refer to the
Operation section of this manual for detailed
instructions regarding the parking brake as well
as the cruise control feature.
NOTE: Cruise control can NOT be engaged
at the tractor's fastest ground speed. If the
operator should attempt to do so, the tractor will
position but
automatically decelerate to the fastest optimal
mowing ground speed
NOTE: The park brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the
engine will automatically shut off.
