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

presence
sensing

leave the seat without first setting the
parking brake will shut off the engine.

Always remove key when
leaving tractor to prevent unauthodzec
use.
• Never use choke to stop engine.

Leaving the ignition
switch in any position other than "OFF"
will cause the battery to be discharged,
(dead).

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.

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

engine at less than full
throttle reduces the battery charging
rate.
• Full throttle offers the best bagging
and mower performance.

controlled by the gearshift lever.
