J. FORWARD CONTROL PEDAL

Check behind the tractor to be sure the area is clear of people, pets or obstacles. Use a slower speed to maintain control of the tractor when traveling in reverse.

The reverse control pedal is located in the right front running board rearward of the the brake and forward control pedals. Press the pedal downward to move in reverse.

L. LIFT HANDLE

The lift handle is located in the left fender and is used to raise and lower equipment used with the tractor. The equipment can be set in any of six positions by de- pressing the top button on the handle, moving the han- dle to the desired position, then releasing the button. It may be necessary to push or pull slightly on the handle to depress the button. There is a lift assist spring which reduces the effort needed to lift attachments. To adjust spring tension refer to ADJUSTMENTS in Section III.

M. LIFT HEIGHT INDICATOR

The lift height indicator is located in the left fender and indicates the height of the deck attachment when in- stalled.

N. SEAT ADJUSTMENT LEVER

O. TRANSMISSION RELEASE LEVER

The transmission release lever is located at the back of the tractor in the rear drawbar. This lever disconnects the hydro transmission pump from the rear axle to al- low the unit to be pushed a short distance by hand.

To disengage the transmission, pull back on the lever until its locking flange is visible outside the drawbar, then lift the lever up into the slot and release. To re-en- gage the transmission, pull back on the lever, drop out of the slot and release.

P. FUSES

The fuses are located under the hood between the in- dicator lamps and the hour meter (see Figure 6). Fuses are installed to protect the tractor’s electrical circuitry and components from damage caused by excessive amperage.
