WARNING
Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, set the parking
brake, and wait for moving parts to stop before leav-

Functional Tests

1. Check the tractor for loose bolts, screws, nuts, etc.
2. Start the engine and check all controls for proper
operation: ground speed control pedals, clutch/brake
pedal, parking brake, throttle and choke cables, elec-
tric PTO clutch, headlight switch, steering, attachment
lift, etc.
3. Stop the engine and check for fluid leaks: oil, gaso-
line, coolant, or transmission oil.
4. If any control fails to operate properly during testing or
seems to be out of adjustment, check and readjust it
according to the following Adjustments section.

Dash Safety Lights Test

Check the operation of the tractor controls and dash
safety lights. With an operator in seat and ignition switch
turned to ON (engine not running):
1. PTO Indicator Light (red) should go on and off with
operation of electric clutch switch.
2. The parking brake / cruise control lock light should go
on when the parking brake / cruise control is activat-
ed.
3. Headlight Indicator Light should go on when the
headlights are turned on.
4. Oil Pressure Indicator Light (red) should turn on and
should go out immediately after the engine starts.
5. Liquid Cooled Models Only - Engine Overheat
Indicator Light should go on when the starter is
cranked and should go out immediately after the
engine starts. If the engine overheats, the indicator
light will flash.

engaged, and an operator in the seat, start the tractor
engine. Run the engine at full throttle. Engage the electric
PTO clutch switch and wait several seconds. Disengage
electric clutch switch and check the time it takes for the
mower drive belt to stop.
If the mower drive belt does not stop within five seconds,
adjust the PTO clutch according to the instructions in the
