Speed Control Pedals
The speed control pedals are located on the right side of the
traction unit. The speed control pedals must be in the neutral
position to start the tractor engine.
Pushing the forward pedal causes the mower to move forward.
Pushing the reverse pedal causes the mower to move backward.
Consequently, these pedals control all of the movements of the
tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these control pedals is quite
different from conventional tractors, and will take some practice
to master. Refer to the Operation section for instructions on
using the speed control pedals.

The ignition switch is located on the RH console to
the right of the operator's seat. The ignition switch

off.
RUN — The tractor electrical system is energized.
START — The starter motor will turn over the engine. Release the
key immediately when the engine starts
NOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge,
remove the key from the ignition switch when the tractor is not
in use.
PTO (Power Take-Off) Switch
The PTO switch is located on the RH console
to the right of the operator's seat next to the
ignition switch.
The PTO switch operates the electric PTO
clutch mounted on the bottom of the engine
crankshaft. Pull the switch knob upward to
engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob
downward to disengage the clutch.
The PTO switch must be in the "disengaged"
position when starting the engine.
Fuel Valve

flow of fuel to the engine. When turned in a counter-clockwise
direction it will open and allow fuel to flow to the engine.

Located on the front of the LPG
tanks, the fuel gauge measures the
fuel level in each tank.
