-1 Before engaging the PTO, set the throttle in the fast position and
always engage and disengage the PTO lever with a quick motion to avoid
premature wear on the PTO clutch.
NOTE: An interlock switch prevents the engine from starting unless the PTO
lever is in the OFF position.
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal and the shift lever are interconnected. When the brake
pedal is fully depressed, the lawn tractor will stop and the shift lever will
return to NEUTRAL. If the brake pedal is depressed half-way and then
released, the lawn tractor will continue at a slower speed.
-1 Driving the lawn tractor with the brake pedal partly depressed can
damage the brake linings.
