Operating Instructions
Keep feet on footrests at all times when
the machine is moving. Never operate the
tractor without a deck or implement in-
stalled.
1. Move the FSC out of NEUTRAL-PARK position
to the desired forward speed. DO NOT hold
for ward on steering levers. It is not necessary
to hold the FSC lever in position since a friction
lock maintains the selected lever position (and
forward travel speed).
In case the transmission drive belt breaks
during operation, and if the machine is on
a slope, the machine will freewheel down
the slope. To maintain control, immediately
(1) Release the steering levers and
simultaneously (2) Move the FSC to the
NEUTRAL-PARK position.
machine is stopped or moving slowly,
engage the parking brake.
NOTE: This is exactly the same procedure
used to normally stop and park the machine.
An operator presence switch (seat switch)
will cause the engine to stop if the parking
brake is in the DISENGAGED position and/
or the FSC is out of the NEUTRAL-PARK
position (tractor stationary or moving for-
ward) and the operator is not in the seat.
The function of this switch should be
checked by the op erator raising off the
seat, first with the parking brake DISEN-
GAGED, and then with the tractor moving
forward; the engine should stop. In each
case, if the safety sys tem is not working, it
should be repaired or replaced before op-
erating the mower. DO NOT disconnect the
safety switches; they are for the operator's
protection.
