HOW to USE Your Tractor

OPERATION

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 6)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens- ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine.

•Depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position and hold.

•Place parking brake lever in “ENGAGED” position and release pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

STOPPING (See Fig. 5)

MOWER BLADES -

•To stop mower blades,move attachment clutch lever to “DISENGAGED” position.

GROUND DRIVE -

•To stop ground drive, depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position.

•Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.

ENGINE -

•Move throttle control between half and full speed (fast) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and full speed (fast) position, before stopping may cause engine to “backfire”.

•Turn ignition key to “STOP” position and remove key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.

•Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al- ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com- pletely, as described above, before leav- ing the operator's position; to empty grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 5)

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. 7)

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the motion control lever. (J)
