Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing (or use of
other PTO driven attachments) while traveling in reverse.
If you choose to mow in reverse, turn the RMO key after
the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and
the operator can then mow in reverse. Each time the PTO
is engaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen-
gages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO,
pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note that
the operator must be seated firmly in the tractor seat for
the PTO to function.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
Ground Speed Pedals
The tractor's forward ground speed is controlled by the for-
ward ground speed control pedal. The tractor's reverse
ground speed is controlled by the reverse ground speed
control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed. Note
that the further down the pedal is depressed, the faster the
tractor will travel.
Cruise Control
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed control
in forward. The cruise control has five lock positions.
Mower Height of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height adjustment knob controls the mower
cutting height. The cutting height is infinitely adjustable
between 1.0" and 4.0" (2,5 - 10,2 cm).
Attachment Lift Control Lever
The mower deck lift lever raises and lowers the mower
deck and has two positions: Transport and free-float. Set
the lever to free-float for mowing. Set the lever to trans-
port when using the tractor for non-mowing applications
or when transporting the tractor. DO NOT engage the
PTO with the mower in the raised transport position or
you may damage the belt.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever, position the seat as desired, and release the lever
to lock the seat into position.
Transmission Release Valve Lever
The transmission release valve lever deactivates the
transmission so that the tractor can be pushed by hand.
See Pushing the Tractor by Hand section.

To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.
Fuel Level Gauge
Displays the fuel level in the tank.
Parking Brake
The parking brake knob is used to lock the parking brake
when the tractor is stopped. Fully depressing the brake
pedal and pulling up on the knob engages the parking
brake.
Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake.
