Attachment Lift Control Lever

When using the mower deck, lift the deck off the ground while transporting to and from the job site. DO NOT cut with the mower in the raised, transport position.

The attachment lift control lever raises and lowers attachments that utilize the tractor’s hydraulic lift cylinder. This lever also controls attachments that use the tractor’s auxiliary hydraulics via the quick couplers on the front left and right sides of the frame.

When using a mower deck (Front / Rear Hydraulic selec- tor switch must be in REAR position), pulling the lever back raises the attachment lift. Pushing the lever for- ward to the first detent lowers the attachment lift. Pushing the lever forward to the second detent locks the control in “float” position, allowing the lift mechanism to float up and down. Float is the recommended position when mowing.

For a complete explanation on this control, see

Features & Controls

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. 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 the knob out engages the parking brake. Refer to page 10 for a full explanation of parking brake functions.

Steering Tilt Adjust (Select Models)

Use the tilt knob located on the bellows to release the pivot mechanism and pivot the wheel to the desired posi- tion. Release the tilt knob to lock in position.

Cutting Height Adjustment

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). The mower cutting height is infinitely adjustable between 1” to 4-13/32” (2,5 cm-11,2 cm). When the adjustment indicator has reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding the switch down will damage the motor.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three positions:

OFF

Stops the engine and shuts off the

 

electrical system.

RUN

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN posi- tion with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.

Brake Pedal

Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake. Depressing the brake pedal will also return the cruise control lever to neutral.

Seat Adjustment Lever

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever, position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into position.

Cruise Control

The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed con- trol in forward. Move the lever forward until the desired ground speed is reached. To disengage the cruise con- trol move the lever back. In the event you need to stop quickly, depressing the brake pedal will also return the cruise control to neutral.

4WD 2-Wheel / 4-Wheel Drive Selector (Select Models)

The 2-wheel / 4-wheel drive selector disengages the front wheels in the 2-wheel drive position and drives all four wheels in 4-wheel drive position. Engage / disen- gage the 4-wheel drive control only when stopped or at slow speeds.

Transmission Release Valve Lever

The transmission release valve lever deactivates the transmission so that the tractor can be pushed by hand. See PUSHING THE TRACTOR BY HAND for opera- tional information.
