Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, depress the clutch and brake pedals,
disengage the power take off (PTO), and turn the ignition
key to off. Also set the parking brake if you leave the
machine unattended; refer to Setting the Parking Brake,
page 15. Remember to remove the ignition and Keychoice
keys.
Caution
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition and KeyChoice keys
and set the parking brake when leaving the
machine unattended, even if just for a few
minutes.
Important
To prevent excessive wear, do not ride the
brakes. Shift to a lower gear for slower ground speed.
Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop or
shift while on a slope.

Lever

attachments (Fig. 17).
Raising Attachments

Adjusting the Dial-A-Height

The Dial-A-Height control is used to limit the downward
travel of attachments other than mowers (Fig. 17). For
example, use the Dial–a–Height to hold the blade or
snowthrower above a gravel drive to prevent picking up
stones or hold the tiller at a selected depth. For mowing,
turn the Dial–a–Height fully counterclockwise until the
knob contacts the plastic thread cap, so the mower can
move through its full range of travel. Use the mower's
height control to set cutting height. To use the
Dial–a–height:
1. Raise the attachment lift lever; refer to Raising
Attachments. In the raised position the Dial-A-Height
knob (Fig. 17) can be rotated to change the stop
location. Turn right to raise and left to lower the height
of the attachment.

Positioning the Seat

The seat can move forward and backward. Position the
seat where you have the best control of the machine and
are most comfortable.
1. Raise the seat and loosen the adjustment knobs
(Fig. 18).
2. Slide the seat to the desired position and tighten the
knobs.
