NOTE: This Operator’s Manual covers several models. Tractor features may vary by model. Not all features in this manual are applicable to all tractor models and the tractor depicted may differ from yours.

NOTE: References to LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, and REAR indicate that position on the tractor when facing forward while seated in the operator’s seat.

RH and LH Drive Control Levers

The RH and LH control levers are located on each side of the operator’s seat. These hinged levers pivot outward to open space to permit the operator to either sit in the tractor seat, or to dismount the tractor. The levers must be fully opened out and in the neutral position to start the tractor engine. When the levers are fully outward, the parking brake is also engaged.

Deck Height Index

The deck height index consists of eight index notches located on the front/right of the console. Each notch corresponds to a 1⁄2” change in the deck height position ranging from 1-1⁄2” at the lowest notch to 4” at the highest notch.

Deck Lift Handle

The deck lift handle is located on the front/right of the console, and is used to raise and lower the mower deck.

Pull the handle to the left out of the index notch and push downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise the deck. When the desired height is attained, move the lift handle to the right until fully in the index notch.

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.
