PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and
disengages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the
PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage.
Note that the operator must be seated firmly in the tractor
seat for the PTO to function.
Ignition
Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
three positions:
_OFF
H
RUN
_START
Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped-this
drains the battery.
Brake

Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake.
Ground
Speed
Pedals
The tractor's forward ground speed is controlled by the
forward ground speed control pedal. The tractor's reverse
ground speed is controlled by the reverse ground speed
control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed. Note
that the further down the pedal is depressed, the faster
the tractor will travel.
Parking
Brake
The parking brake knob is used to lock the parking brake
when the tractor is stopped. Fully depressing the brake
pedal and pulling up on the knob engages the parking
brake
Mower Height
of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height is adjustable between 1.0" and 4.0"
(2,5 and 10,2 cm).
The cutting height adjustment switch controls the mower
cutting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The arrows
on the switch correspond to the direction of adjustment
(UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow rotates
the spout right, etc). When the adjustment indicator has
reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding
the switch down will damage the motor.
