OPERATION

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D) (See Fig.7)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces the engine's operating efficiency.

Full speed (fast) offers the best mower performance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 8)

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the forward and reverse drive pedals.

Start tractor and release parking brake.

Slowly depress forward (K) or reverse (L) drive pedal to begin movement. Ground speed increases the further down the pedal is depressed.

TO USE CRUISE CONTROL (J) (See Fig. 8)

The cruise control feature can be used for forward travel only.

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

The cruise control should only be used while mowing or transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the cruise control to disengage. Do not use the cruise control on slopes, rough terrain or while trimming or turning.

With forward drive pedal depressed to desired speed, pull cruise control lever (J) up and hold while lifting your foot off the pedal, then release the lever.

To disengage the cruise control, depress the brake pedal or tap on forward drive pedal.

TO USE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CONTROL (Y) (See Fig. 9)

To engage differential lock, stop the tractor and push the differential lock switch to the "ON" position.

NOTE: Driving for long periods of time with the differential lock engaged is not detrimental or abusive to the system.

CAUTION: To minimize the risk of dam- age, avoid engaging differential lock while vehicle is in motion.

Y

Fig. 9

Drive tractor forward. As the rear tires rotate the differential lock will engage.

NOTE: Operators may notice displacement or turfing of grass in turns with differential lock engaged.

To disengage differential lock, push differential lock switch to the "OFF" position. If the differential lock does not disengage, steering the vehicle from side to side will assist.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 10)

The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the cutting height.

A

Fig. 10

Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.

The cutting height range is approximately 1 to 4" (25,4 to 101,6 mm). The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with the engine not running. These heights are approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2" (63,5 mm) during the cool season and to over 3" (76,2 mm) during hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (152,4 mm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to desired height.
