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
a wide vision safety mask over spectacles
or
standard
safety glasses.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

position and hold.

Failure to move throttle control to

Always
remove
key
when

• Never use choke to stop engine.
IMPORTANT:
Leaving the ignition switch
in any position other than "OFF" 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, always stop engine when
stopping tractor on grass areas.
_I, CAUTION:

stop tractor
completely, as described
above, before
leaving the operator's position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE
CONTROL

• Operating
engine at less than full
throttle reduces the battery charging
rate.
