IMPORTANT: When access is required under the seat platform and the seat is equipped with the optional arm rests, make certain to place the control arms in the park brake position and pivot the arm rests upward before placing the seat platform in the full forward position to prevent arm rest damage.

Control Panel

A.Choke control (Fig. 3-1) – a cable is linked to manually operate the engine choke. When the lever is in the down position, the choke is in the off (run) position. When the lever is pulled up, the choke is in the on (start) position. Do not operate the machine in the on (start) position.

B.Throttle control (Fig. 3-1) — a cable is linked to engine throttle for controlling engine speed. Move lever forward to increase engine rpm, move lever rearward to decrease engine rpm.

C.Deck clutch switch (Fig. 3-1) — this switch engages the deck. Pull the switch up to engage and push switch down to disengage the clutch.

IMPORTANT: Never engage clutch with engine running at high rpm or when the deck is under load. Clutch, belts or deck could be damaged.

D.Ignition switch (Fig. 3-1) – a three position switch: off, run, and start. With key inserted, rotate it clockwise to START position; release key when engine starts, and switch will automatically return to the RUN position.

E.Oil pressure light (Fig. 3-1) — this light comes on when the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position and stays lit until the engine is running and a safe oil pressure is developed. If light comes on during operation, shut engine off immediately and locate and correct the problem.

F.20 amp fuse (Fig. 3-1) — Main - 20 amp, blade-type

G.10 amp fuse (Fig. 3-1) — Clutch/Aux - 10 amp, blade-type

Controls

A.Control levers (Fig. 3-2 & 3-3) — these levers control the tractor’s speed, direction, neutral lock, and park brake. Levers are used to steer, accelerate, decelerate and change direction. When the control levers are in the park brake position (3-3) the tractor will not move when the engine is on and drive pumps are operating.

WARNING: The parking brake may not hold the tractor if parked on a slope. Block or chock the machine when parked on a slope

B.Deck lift pedal (Fig. 3-4) — the deck lift pedal is used to raise or lower the deck. Push on the pedal to raise the deck and then place the deck height locking pin into the desired cutting height hole.

Push the deck lift pedal to raise the deck when going over obstructions.

Safety start interlock system

The tractor is equipped with a safety start interlock system consisting of the park brake switches, seat switch, and deck clutch switch.

Check tractor safety start interlock system daily, prior to operation. This system is an important tractor safety feature. It should be repaired immediately if it malfunctions. The machine incorporates a separate seat switch which will stop the tractor engine when the operator is unseated for any reason while the tractor is operating. This is a safety feature designed to prevent runaway or accidental entanglement. To inspect the system:

1.The operator must be on the seat when testing the seat switch.

2.Set both control levers in the park brake position.

3.Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature.

4.With the deck clutch switch down and the control levers in the park brake position, slowly raise off of the seat. The engine should continue to run.
