LCD

Located in the center of the tractor’s console, the systems indicator monitor records, and displays on its LCD, hours of tractor operation whenever the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position.

The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will alternately flash the recorded hours, “CHG” and “OIL” for five minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five minutes every time the tractor’s engine has been started during this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change the crankcase oil level as instructed in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

Brake

If the Brake light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor’s engine, depress the brake pedal.

PTO (Blade Engage)

If the PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor’s engine, move the PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position.

Oil

It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate’s during operation, while the engine is running, stop the tractor immediately and check the crankcase oil level as instructed in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

Battery

It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate’s during operation, while the engine is running, the battery is in need of a charge or the engine’s charging system is not generating sufficient amperage.

PTO (Blade Engage) Lever

ON

OFF 42.0 LCD PTO PTO / BLADE ENGAGE

The PTO (Blade Engage) lever is located on the left side of the dash, next to the steering wheel. Move the PTO (Blade Engage) lever forward to engage the power to the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments; move the PTO (Blade Engage) lever rearward to disengage the power to the attachments.

NOTE: The PTO (Blade Engage) lever must be in the disengaged (OFF) position when starting the engine.

Cruise Control

Lever

The cruise control lever is located on the tractor dash

panel, below the steering wheel. Push the cruise control lever downward while traveling forward at a desired speed. While holding the lever down, release pressure from the drive pedal.

This will engage the cruise control and allow the tractor to remain at that speed without applying pressure to the drive pedal. Depress the brake pedal or the drive pedal to deactivate cruise control. Refer to page 18 for detailed instructions regarding cruise control.

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.

Parking Brake

Lever

To set the parking brake, fully depress

the brake pedal and

push the parking brake lever down. Hold the lever down while taking your foot off the brake pedal. Both the parking lever and the brake pedal will then stay depressed. To release the parking brake, depress the brake pedal slightly. The parking brake lever will then return to its original position.

IMPORTANT: Always set the parking brake when leaving the tractor unattended.
