Page 16

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the forward and reverse drive pedals.

1. Start tractor and release parking brake.

2.Slowly depress forward (K) or reverse(L) drive pedal to begin movement. Ground speed increases the further down the pedal is depressed.

TO USE CRUISE CONTROL

The cruise control feature can be used for forward travel only.

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

The cruise control should only be used

while mowing or transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the cruise control to disengage. Do not use the cruise control on slopes, rough tertian or while trimmimg or turning.

• With forward drive pedal depressed to desired speed, pull cruise control lever

(J)up and hold while lifting your foot off the pedal, then release the lever.

To disengage the cruise control, depress the brake pedal, tap on forward drive pedal or push the cruise control lever down.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately 1" to 4". The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with the engine not run- ning. These heights are approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.

•The average lawn should be cut to ap-

proximately 2-1/2" during the cool sea- son and to over 3" during hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

•For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly offthe ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.

1.Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in this section of manual).

2.With mower in desired height of cut posi- tion, gauge wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole. Tighten securely.

3.Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in same adjustment hole.

Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting

You must remain fully and centrally positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitating or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,
