OPERATION

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 4)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens- ing 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 (B) all the way down and hold.

Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, release pres- sure from clutch/brake pedal (B), then release parking brake lever. Pedal should remain in brake position. Make sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

GROUND DRIVE -

To stop ground drive, depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down.

Move gear shift lever (J) to neutral position.

ENGINE -

Move throttle control (D) between half and full speed (fast) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and full speed (fast) position, before stopping, may cause en- gine to “backfire”.

Turn ignition key (F) to “STOP” position and remove key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.

Never use choke (N) to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position other than "STOP" will cause the battery to discharge and go 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, al- ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com- pletely, as described above, and set parking brake before leaving the operator's position.

STOPPING (See Figs. 5 and 6)

MOWER BLADES -

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D) (See Fig. 6)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces engine's operating efficiency.

Full speed (fast) offers the best mower performance.
