Simplicity Broadmoor 2691467 Operator's Manual page 12

Note: The further down the pedal is pushed the faster the
tractor will move.
7. To stop the tractor, release the speed control pedals, set
the parking brake, and stop the engine. See Stop Tractor
and Engine.
Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT)
Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) applies a preset amount
of torque to both rear wheels even if one starts to slip. A
transmission without ACT will lose traction completely if one
rear wheel starts to slip. This preset torque is just enough to
give additional traction, and still let the wheels turn at different
speeds in a tight turn without damage to the lawn.
Under certain circumstances, the ACT system limit can be
exceeded, and one of the rear tires may slip. For example, if
you turn up a hill, when you accelerate. This is normal. If you
start to lose traction, do not speed up. Instead, slow to stop,
straighten the steering wheel, and slowly accelerate. Stopping
the tractor lets the transmission get more traction.
Cruise Control
To engage:
• Push down on the cruise control lever (S, Figure 3) until
the desired speed is reached.
To disengage:
• Pull back on the cruise control lever (S, Figure 3) or push
the brake pedal (P).

DANGER
This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet, and
throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Only operate the machine in daylight hours or good
artificial light.
• Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
hazards.
Uneven terrain can overturn the machine or cause
operator to lose their balance or footing.
• Do not direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction as
material may ricochet back toward the operator.
• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surface.
• Do not leave a running machine unattended. Always
park on level ground, disengage the attachment, set
parking brake, stop engine and remove starter insert or
key.

6. Use the Height-of-Cut Electric Switch (C) to set the
cutting height to the desired level. See Adjusting the
Mower Cutting Height.
7. Disengage the parking brake (H), then begin to mow.
8. Turn off the PTO.

WARNING
The engine will shut off if the reverse ground speed pedal
is depressed while the PTO is on and the RMO has not
been activated. The operator must always turn the PTO off
prior to driving across on roads, paths, or areas that can be
used by other vehicles. Sudden loss of drive could create a
hazard.
