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 standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 6)

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 brake pedal (B) all the way down and hold.

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

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 engine to "backfi re".

•Turn ignitionkey (F) to "STOP" position and remove key.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.

•Never use the choke to stop the engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" 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, al- ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor corn= pletely, as described above, and set parking brake before leaving the opera= tot's position.

STOPPING (See Fig. 7)

MOWER BLADES -

•To stop mower blades, place attachment clutch control in the "DISENGAGED" position (t_).

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D) (See Fig. 8)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

•Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces the engine'soperating efficiency.

•Full speed (fast) offers the best mower performance.
