Fuel Level Indicator
The Fuel Level Indicator is located on the left side of the tractor’s dash and indicates the amount of fuel in the gas tank.
PTO / Blade Engage Knob
Activating the PTO engages power to the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments. Pull outward on the PTO/Blade Engage knob to activate it. Push the PTO/ Blade Engage knob inward to disengage the power to the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments.
NOTE: The PTO/Blade Engage knob must be in the disengaged (OFF) position when starting the engine.
Parking Brake/Cruise Control Lever
Located in the center of the tractor’s dash panel below the steering wheel, the Parking Brake/Cruise Control lever is used to engage the parking brake and the cruise control. Refer to the Operation section of this manual for detailed instructions regarding the parking brake.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine will automatically shut off.
NOTE: Cruise control can NOT be engaged at the tractor’s fastest ground speed. If the operator should attempt to do so, the tractor will automatically decelerate to the fastest optimal mowing ground speed.
Warning! Never leave a running machine unattended. Always disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
