OPERATION
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown
into the eyes, which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety gJasses or eye shields while operating your tractor
or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
GROUND DRIVE
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING
BRAKE
(See Fig. 4)
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-
ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the
operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking
brake will shut off the engine.
•
Depress brake pedal (B) all the way down and hold.
•
Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, release pres-
sure from brake pedal (B), then release parking brake
lever. Pedal should remain in brake position. Ensure
parking brake will hold tractor securely.

STOPPING
(See Fig. 5)
MOWER BLADES
•
To stop mower blades, move attachment clutch lever
to "DISENGAGED"
position.
•
To stop ground drive, depress brake pedal into full
"BRAKE" position.
IMPORTANT: FORWARD AND REVERSE DRIVE PEDALS
RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN NOT DEPRESSED.
ENGINE
•
Move throttle control between half and full speed (fast)
position.
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and full
speed (fast) position, before stopping may cause engine
to "backfire."
•
Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position and remove key.
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent
unauthorized use.
IMPORTANT:
LEAVING
THE
IGNITION
SWITCH
IN ANY
POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY
TO BE DISCHARGED
(DEAD).
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing
idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-
ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.
CAUTION:
Always
stop tractor
com-
pletely, as described
above,
before
leaving the operator's
position to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE
CONTROL
(D) (See Fig. 6)
Always operate engine at full speed (fast).
•
Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces
engines operating efficiency.
•
Full speed (fast) offers the best bagging and mower
performance.
