attachment lift Control lever
When using the mower deck, lift the deck off the ground
while transporting to and from the job site. DO NOT cut
with the mower in the raised, transport position.
The attachment lift control lever raises and lowers attach-
ments that utilize the tractor's hydraulic lift cylinder. This
lever also controls attachments that use the tractor's aux-
iliary hydraulics via the quick couplers on the front left and
right sides of the frame.
When using a mower deck (Front / Rear Hydraulic selec-
tor switch must be in REAR position), pulling the lever
back raises the attachment lift. Pushing the lever forward
to the first detent lowers the attachment lift. Pushing the
lever forward to the second detent locks the control in
"float" position, allowing the lift mechanism to float up and
down. Float is the recommended position when mowing.
For a complete explanation on this control, see
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FUNCTIONS.
Cutting Height adjustment
The cutting height adjustment switch controls the mower
cutting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The
arrows on the switch correspond to the direction of
adjustment (UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow
rotates the spout right, etc). The mower cutting height is
infinitely adjustable between 1" to 4-13/32" (2,5 cm-11,2
cm). When the adjustment indicator has reached the end
of its travel, release the switch; holding the switch down
will damage the motor.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
three positions:
OFF
Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN
Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system. Activates the glow
plugs on diesel models
START
Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN posi-
tion with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake.
Depressing the brake pedal will also return the cruise
control lever to neutral.

Ground Speed Pedals
The tractor's forward ground speed is controlled by
the forward ground speed control pedal. The tractor's
reverse ground speed is controlled by the reverse ground
speed control pedal. Note that the further down the pedal
is depressed, the faster the tractor will travel.
Parking Brake
This locks the parking brake when the tractor is
stopped. See Parking Brake section.
Steering Tilt adjust (Select Models)
Use the tilt knob located on the bellows to release the
pivot mechanism and pivot the wheel to the desired posi-
tion. Release the tilt knob to lock in position.
Seat adjustment lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever, position the seat as desired, and release the lever
to lock the seat into position.
Cruise Control
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed con-
trol in forward. Move the lever forward until the desired
ground speed is reached. To disengage the cruise con-
trol move the lever back. In the event you need to stop
quickly, depressing the brake pedal will also return the
cruise control to neutral.
2-Wheel / 4-Wheel Drive Selector (Select
2WD
Models)
4WD
The 2-wheel / 4-wheel drive selector disengages the front
wheels in the 2-wheel drive position and drives all four
wheels in 4-wheel drive position. Engage / disengage
the 4-wheel drive control only when stopped or at slow
speeds.
Transmission Release Valve lever
The transmission release valve lever deactivates the
transmission so that the tractor can be pushed by hand.
See PUSHING THE TRACTOR BY HAND for operational
information.
Fuel Tank
