HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine.

Depress clutch/brake pedal into full "BRAKE" position and hold.

Place parking brake lever in "EN- GAGED" position and release pres- sure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should remain in "BRAKE" position. Make sure parking brake will hold tractor secure. Attachment Clutch Lever

can result in foreign objects thrown into severe eye damage. Always wear safety operating your tractor or performing any recommend a wide vision safety mask safety glasses.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position other than "OFF"

will cause the battery to be discharged, (dead).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when

tractor is standing idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

A CAUTION: Always stop tractor completely, as described above, before leaving the operator's position; to empty grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THRO'I-FLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

Operating engine at less than full

throttle reduces the battery charging rate.

Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower performance.
