The operation
of any tractor can
result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating
your tractor or performing
any
adjustments
or repairs.
We recommend
a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles
or standard
safety glasses.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING
BRAKE
Your tractor is equipped
with an operator
presence
sensing
switch.
When engine
is running, any attempt by the operator to
leave the seat without first setting the
parking brake will shut off the engine.
1. Depress clutch/brake
pedal into full
"BRAKE"
position
and hold.
2. Place parking brake lever
in "EN-
GAGED" position
and release
pressure from clutch/brake
pedal.
Pedal should remain in "BRAKE"
position.
Make sure parking brake will
hold tractor secure.

GROUND
DRIVE
-
• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/

position.
• Move gearshift
lever to neutral (N)
position.
ENGINE -
• Move throttle control to slow position.
NOTE:
Failure to move throttle control to
slow position
and allowing
engine to idle
before stopping may cause engine to
"backfire".
• Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and
remove key.
Always remove key when
leaving tractor to prevent
unauthorized
use.
• Never use choke to stop engine.
IMPORTANT:
Leaving the ignition switch
in any position other than "OFF" will
cause the battery to be discharged,
(dead).
NOTE;
Under certain conditions
when
tractor is standing idle with the engine
running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause "browning"
of grass.
To eliminate
this possibility,
always stop engine when
stopping tractor on grass areas.
_CAUTION"
Always stop tractor
completely,
as described
above, before
leaving the operator's
position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE
CONTROL
Always operate engine at full throttle.
• Operating
engine at less than full
throttle reduces the battery charging
rate.
• Full throttle offers the best bagging and
mower performance.
TO MOVE FORWARD
AND BACKWARD
The direction and speed of movement
is
controlled
by the gearshift
lever.
1. Start tractor with clutch/brake
pedal
depressed
and gearshift
lever in
neutral (N) position.
2. Move gearshift
lever to desired
position.
3. Slowly release clutch/brake
pedal to
start movement.
IMPORTANT:
Bring tractor to a complete
stop before shifting or changing
gears.
Failure to do so will shorten the useful life
of your transaxle.

range
is approxi-
mately
1-1/2 to 4". The heights
are
measured
from
the ground
to the blade
tip with the engine
not running.
These
heights
are approximate
and may vary
depending
upon
soi! conditions,
height
of
grass
and types
of grass
