NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing
idle with the engine running, hot en gine exhaust gases may
cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-
ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.
CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-
plete ly, as described above, before leav-
ing the operator's position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)
Always operate engine at full throttle.
•
Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the
battery charging rate.
•
Full throttle of fers the best bagging and mower per for -
mance.
TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)
Use choke control whenever you are starting a cold engine.
Do not use to start a warm engine.
•
To engage choke control, pull knob out. Slowly push
knob in to disengage.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See
Fig. 6)
The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the
forward and reverse drive pedals.

Start tractor and release parking brake.
•
Slowly depress forward or reverse drive pedal to begin
movement. Ground speed increases the further down
the pedal is depressed.
TO USE CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control feature can be used for forward travel
only.
SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
The cruise control should only be used while mowing or
transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other
conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the
cruise control to disengage. Do not use the cruise control
on slopes, rough terrain or while trimming or turning.
•
With forward drive pedal depressed to desired speed,
move cruise control lever forward to "SET" position and
hold while lifting your foot off the pedal, then release
the cruise control lever.
•
To disengage the cruise control, pull the lever backward
to "OFF" position, or fully depress the brake pedal.
