Each lever controls the respective RH or LH transmission. Consequently, these levers control all of the movements of the tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these control levers is quite different from conventional tractors, and will take some practice to master. Refer to “Operation” for instructions on using the control levers.
D. Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located on the RH console to the right of the operator’s seat. The ignition switch has three positions as follows:
OFF
STOP
ON
START
Figure
OFF - The engine and electrical system is turned off. ON - The tractor electrical system is energized.
START - The starter motor will turn over the engine. Release the key immediately when the engine starts
NOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge, remove the key from the ignition switch when the tractor is not in use.
E. Power Take-Off (PTO) Switch
The PTO switch is located on the RH console to the right of the operator’s seat.
Figure
The PTO switch operates the electric PTO clutch mounted on the bottom of the engine crankshaft. Pull the switch knob upward to engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob downward to disengage the clutch.
The PTO switch must be in the “disengaged” position when starting the engine.
F. Transmission Bypass Rods (Not Visible)
The transmission bypass rods (one for each the RH and LH transmission) are located beneath the frame platform, just inside each rear wheel.
When engaged, the two rods open a bypass within the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer to Maintenance & Adjustments for instructions on using the bypass feature.
Caution: Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions.
G. Cup Holder
The cup holder is located toward the rear of the RH console to the right of the operator’s seat.
H. Storage Tray
The storage tray is located at the rear of the RH console.
J. Seat Adjustment Lever (Not Seen)
The seat adjustment lever is located below the right/front of the seat. The lever allows for adjustment of the fore to aft position of the operator’s seat. Refer to Maintenance
&Adjustments for instructions on adjusting the seat position.
K. Fuel Tank Cap
The fuel tank cap is located at the rear of the LH console. Turn the cap counterclockwise to unscrew and remove from the fuel tank. Always
warning!: Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is running. If the engine is hot from recently running, allow to cool for several minutes before refueling. Highly flammable gasoline could splash onto the engine and cause a fire.
L. Hour Meter / Indicator Panel
The hour meter/indicator panel is located on the LH console to the left of the operator’s seat.

Hour Meter Features
The hour meter records the hours that the tractor has been operated in the digital display (tenths of an hour - right most digit).
NOTE: The hour meter is activated whenever the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. Record actual hours of operation to assure all maintenance is completed according to the instructions in this manual, and the engine manual.
When key is turned to the “ON” position, the battery indicator light briefly illuminates and the battery voltage is briefly displayed. The display then changes to the accumulated hours.
