Features & Controls

Transmission Oil Level Check Plug

Transmission oil check plug/dipstick is used to check transmission oil level and to add oil to the transmission. See TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE for oil level check and fill procedures.

Mid / Rear PTO Selector

The mid / rear PTO selector lever selects which PTO or combination of PTOs is activated by the PTO switch. The selector has three positions (from front to back:) mid PTO active only, mid and rear PTO active, rear PTO active only. Disengage the PTO switch before altering this control’s setting.

Front / Rear Hydraulics Selector

The front / rear hydraulics selector switches which hydraulic circuit is controlled by the forward and back- ward movement of the attachment lift lever.

When the switch is in the forward position, the attach- ment lift control lever affects attachments connected to the two front left quick couplers. When the switch is in the rear position the attachment lift control affects the tractor’s hydraulic cylinder.

12V Power Outlet (Select Models)

The power outlet is 12V-DC. Accessory must be rated at 14 amps or less.

Differential Lock Pedal

Depressing this pedal locks the transmission differential, locking both rear wheels into “drive”.

Use this feature if the tractor is stuck because one wheel is slipping. Engage the differential lock at slow ground speeds only.

PTO Switch

The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch, in conjunction with the mid / rear PTO selector, engages and disengages attachments connected to the tractor’s mid or rear PTO shafts. To engage the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Be sure to check the position of the mid / rear PTO selector lever before engaging the PTO. DO NOT engage a PTO that is not connected to an attachment as the rotating shaft is a safety hazard. Note that the operator must be seated firmly in the trac- tor seat for the PTO to function.

Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)

The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing (or use of other PTO driven attachments) while traveling in reverse. If you choose to mow or operate another attachment in reverse, turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the opera- tor can then mow in reverse. Each time the PTO is dis- engaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired.

Parking Brake Function

Applying the Parking Brake - See Figure 2. To lock the parking brake, release the ground speed pedals (A), fully depress the brake pedal (B), pull the parking brake knob (C) out, and then release brake pedal.

Releasing the Parking Brake - See Figure 2. To release the parking brake, fully depress the brake pedal

(B) and push in the parking brake knob (C).

Automatic Controlled Traction

What is Automatic Controlled Traction?

Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) is an exclusive fea- ture of our transmissions that provides improved traction. ACT applies a preset amount of torque to both rear wheels even if one starts slipping (a transmission without ACT will lose traction completely if one rear wheel starts slipping). This preset torque is just enough to provide additional traction, and still allow the wheels to turn at dif- ferent speeds in a tight turn without damaging the lawn.

What to Expect from Your ACT Tractor

For the most part, while using your tractor you will not notice ACT working, and you will simply become accus- tomed to increased traction an ACT transmission pro- vides.

Under certain circumstances the ACT system limit can

be exceeded, and one of the rear wheels may slip (for instance if trying to turn up a hill while accelerating). This is normal. If you start to lose traction, do not speed up. Instead, slow to a stop, straighten the steering wheel, and slowly accelerate. Stopping the tractor allows the transmission to regain more traction.
