LIFT LEVER | BRAKE PEDAL |
BRAKE 
The lift lever is used to change the operating position (height) of the cutting deck. To operate, move the lever to the left, then place in the notch best suited for your application.
PTO (POWER TAKE-OFF) LEVER
The brake pedal is located on the right front side of the tractor above the drive pedal along the running board. The brake pedal can be used for sudden stops or for setting the parking brake.
NOTE: The brake pedal must be fully depressed to activate the safety interlock switch when starting the tractor.
The PTO lever is located on the left side of the dash next to the steering wheel. Move the PTO lever forward to engage the power to the cutting deck or other attachments; move the PTO lever backward (toward the rear of the tractor) to disengage the power to the attachments.
NOTE: The PTO lever must be in the disengaged (OFF) position when starting the engine, when shifting into reverse and if the operator leaves the seat.

Depress the drive pedal with your right foot when the tractor shift lever is in either forward or reverse to cause the tractor to move. Ground speed is also controlled with the drive pedal.
