CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.

A. Choke

Pulling the choke control OUT engages the choke for cold starting. A warm engine may not require choking.

B. Rear PTO Switch (Optional)

The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen- gages attachments that use the OPTIONAL rear PTO. To engage the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note that the operator must be seated firmly in the tractor seat for the PTO to function.

C. Throttle

The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle for- ward to increase engine speed, and back to decrease engine speed. Normal operating speed is 3600 RPM.

Do not run at less than 3000 RPM during normal opera- tion. Always set to full throttle when using attachments.

D. Headlight Switch

The light switch turn the tractor lights on and off.

E. Dashboard Display

The dashboard display shows a variety of engine opera- tion and control status information. See page 8 for more detailed information.

F. Cutting Height Adjust / Spout Rotation

Cutting Height: The cutting height switch control the mower cutting height. To set the cutting height, push the TOP or BOTTOM of the switch while observing the cut- ting height indicator on the left side of the mower deck.
