Speed Control Pedals
The speed control pedals are located on the right side of the traction unit. The speed control pedals must be in the neutral position to start the tractor engine.
Pushing the forward pedal causes the mower to move forward. Pushing the reverse pedal causes the mower to move backward. Consequently, these pedals control all of the movements of the tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these control pedals is quite different from conventional tractors, and will take some practice to master. Refer to the Operation section for instructions on using the speed control pedals.
Digital Tachometer and Hour Meter
The tachometer/hour meter panel is located on the RH console to the right of the operator’s seat. The hour meter records the hours that the tractor has been operated in the digital display.
Ignition Switch

The tachometer provides engine speed (RPM), and service reminders (oil, lube) in the digital display.
The tachometer/hour meter is activated all the time, but does not consume power form the battery. Keep a record of the actual hours of operation to assure all maintenance procedures are completed according to the instructions in this manual and the engine manual.
Throttle Control

NOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge, remove the key from the ignition switch when the tractor is not in use.
