I. BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal is located at the front of the right run-
ning board above the forward control pedal. Press
down to stop the tractor and disengage the cruise con-
trol. The brake pedal must be fully depressed to acti-
vate the safety interlock switch when starting the
tractor.
J. FORWARD CONTROL PEDAL
The forward control pedal is located at the front of the
right running board below the brake pedal. Slowly
press down on the pedal to start moving forward. The
forward ground speed of the tractor is directly affected
by the distance the pedal is depressed.
K. REVERSE CONTROL PEDAL
WARNING
Check behind the tractor to be sure the area is
clear of people, pets or obstacles. Use a slower
speed to maintain control of the tractor when
traveling in reverse.
The reverse control pedal is located in the right front
running board rearward of the the brake and forward
control pedals. Press the pedal downward to move in
reverse.
L. LIFT HANDLE
The lift handle is located in the left fender and is used
to raise and lower equipment used with the tractor. The
equipment can be set in any of six positions by de-
pressing the top button on the handle, moving the han-
dle to the desired position, then releasing the button. It
may be necessary to push or pull slightly on the handle
to depress the button. There is a lift assist spring which
reduces the effort needed to lift attachments. To adjust
spring tension refer to ADJUSTMENTS in Section III.
M. LIFT HEIGHT INDICATOR
The lift height indicator is located in the left fender and
indicates the height of the deck attachment when in-
stalled.
N. SEAT ADJUSTMENT LEVER
The seat adjustment lever (see Figure 5) is used to
move the seat forward or rearward into one of five po-
sitions. See ADJUSTING THE SEAT in Section III.
O. TRANSMISSION RELEASE LEVER
The transmission release lever is located at the back of
the tractor in the rear drawbar. This lever disconnects
the hydro transmission pump from the rear axle to al-
low the unit to be pushed a short distance by hand.
To disengage the transmission, pull back on the lever
until its locking flange is visible outside the drawbar,
then lift the lever up into the slot and release. To re-en-
gage the transmission, pull back on the lever, drop out
of the slot and release.
P. FUSES
The fuses are located under the hood between the in-
dicator lamps and the hour meter (see Figure 6). Fuses
are installed to protect the tractor's electrical circuitry
and components from damage caused by excessive
amperage.
