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 bythe operator to leave
the seat without first setting the parking brake
will shut off the engine.
1_ Depress brake pedal (B) allthe 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 secu re.
STOPPING
MOWER BLADES -
• To stop mower blades, move attachment
clutch lever to disengaged position (r_),
, Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position
and remove key.Always remove keywhen
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.
. Never use the choke to stop the engine.
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 "brown-
ing" of grass. To eliminate this possibility,
always stop engine when stopping tractor
on grass areas.
CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-
pletely, as described above, and set parking
brake before leaving the operator's position,
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D)
Always operate engine at full speed (fast)_
• Operating engine at less than full speed
(fast) reduces engine's operating efficiency_
. Full speed (fast) offers the best mower
performance,

full speed (fast) position.
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control be-
tween half and full speed (fast) position, be-
fore stopping, may cause engine to "backfire".

The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the forward and reverse drive
pedals,
