7.1 Mower Head Power
ON - OFF Switches (base of the JOYSTICK)
Before attempting to start the Tractor, make certain that the Motor Switch is pushed IN to the STOP position and the Master Switch is in the OFF position to ensure that the mower head is not engaged. As a safety device, the tractor can only be started with the Master Switch in the OFF position.
Starting
To Start the Motor on the Attached Head, Start the Tractor and Move the Master Switch to the ON position. Position the head in an area which is clear of any brush, grass, or any other obstruction. Pull the Motor Switch OUT until it snaps into the up position, and then press the Motor Start momentary switch to start the motor. Once the motor starts, release the momentary switch. Bring the Tractor's engine speed up to the normal operating speed of 540 PTO RPM. The motor on light will illuminate while the mower motor is on.
The attached head motor will continue to operate while the Master Switch and the Motor Switch are in the On positions. Pushing the Motor Switch in to the STOP position or switching the Master Switch to the OFF position will stop the attached head motor.
Stopping
To stop the motor on the mower head, lower the Tractor engine speed and push the Motor Switch IN to the STOP position. The mower will come to a complete stop in approximately 15 seconds.
