The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses
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.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING
BRAKE
Your tractor is equipped with an operator
presence sensing
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.
1. Depress brake pedal (B) all the way
down and hold.
2. Pull parking brake lever (C) up and
hold, release pressure from brake
pedal (B), then release parking brake
lever.
Pedal should remain in brake
position.
Make sure parking brake will
hold tractor secure.
NOTE:
Failure to move throttle control be-
tween half and full speed (fast) position, be-
forestopping,
may cause engine to"backfire".
• Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position
and remove key. Always remove key
when leaving tractor to prevent unau-
thorized use.
IMPORTANT:
Leaving the ignition switch in
any position other than "STOP" will cause
the battery
to discharge
and go 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, always stop engine when
stopping tractor on grass areas.
_,CAUTION:
Always stop tractor com-
pletely, as described
above, before leaving
the operator's
position.
