See Figure 2 for location of Features and Controls.
Power Take-Off (PTO) Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off ) switch engages and
disengages the mower blade clutch. To engage
the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to
disengage.
NOTE: The operator must be seated firmly in the
tractor seat for the PTO to function.
Throttle Control
This controls the engine speed. Move the throttle
control to the FAST position to increase engine
speed and SLOW position to decrease engine
speed. Always operate at full throttle.
Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
This allows the operator to mow (or use other
PTO driven attachments) while traveling in
reverse. To activate, turn the RMO key after the
PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate,
and the operator can then mow in reverse. Each
time the PTO is engaged, the RMO needs to be
reactivated if desired.
Hourmeter (if equipped)
The hourmeter measures the number of hours
the key has been in the RUN position. See
Hourmeter section.
Electronic Panel (if equipped)
See Electonic Panel section.
Height-of-Cut Switch
This adjusts the mower cutting height. Press the
switch UP to raise the mowing cutting height and
DOWN to lower the mower cutting height.
Parking Brake
This locks the parking brake when the tractor is
stopped. See Parking Brake section.
Headlight Switch
This turns the tractor headlights on and off.

Features and Controls

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.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped. This drains the
battery.
Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor
brake.
Ground Speed Pedals
The forward ground speed pedal controls the
tractor's forward ground speed. The reverse
ground speed pedal controls the tractor's reverse
ground speed.
Attachment Lift Control Lever (Manual)
The mower deck lift lever raises and lowers the
mower deck and has two positions: Transport
and free-float. Set the lever to free-float for
mowing. Set the lever to transport when using
the tractor for non-mowing applications or when
transporting the tractor. DO NOT engage the
PTO with the mower in the raised transport
position or you may damage the belt.
Attachment Lift Control Lever (Hydraulic)
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, trans-
port position. The attachment lift control lever
raises and lowers attachments that utilize the
tractor's hydraulic lift cylinder. Pushing the lever
forward lowers the attachment while pulling the
lever back raises the attachment.
NOTE: The hydraulic attachment lift and power
steering will not operate when the brake pedal is
depressed. Releasing the brake pedal will restore
operation.
