I. Parking Brake Knob
The parking brake is applied by fully depressing the brake pedal (J, Figure 1), and then pulling OUT on the parking brake knob (I, Figure 1). To release the parking brake, fully depress the brake pedal, and push the park- ing brake knob IN.
J. Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal (I, Figure 1) returns the transmission to neutral, and applies the tractor brake.
K. Ground Speed Control Pedals
The tractor’s ground speed is controlled by the ground speed control pedals (J, Figure 1), and the cruise control (see below).
Depress the FRONT pedal to increase FORWARD ground speed.
Depress the REAR pedal to increase REVERSE ground speed. Note that the further down the pedals are depressed, the faster the tractor will travel.
L. Steering Wheel Adjustment
The tractor is equipped with a tilt steering wheel. Push DOWN on the tilt adjust tab located on the rear of the steering column, and tilt the steering wheel to the desired position.
M. Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever to the LEFT, position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into position.
Features & Controls
N. Cruise Control
The cruise control is used to set a constant FORWARD ground speed. This is useful when mowing long rows or traveling long distances.
To engage the cruise control, make certain forward area is clear and slide the cruise control lever forward to the desired ground speed. Move the lever fully back to the NEUTRAL position to disengage. Note that in the event you need to stop quickly, fully depressing the brake pedal (I, Figure 1) will automatically release the cruise control and stop the tractor. For normal operation, it is recommended that you manually disengage the cruise control by returning the lever to the NEUTRAL position.
O. Two-Speed Control

To change gears:
1.Stop the tractor, but DO NOT apply the parking brake or depress the brake pedal.
2.Lift UP on the shift knob.
3.Move the lever to the desired gear.
4.Push DOWN on the knob to lock into gear.
Note: If necessary, rocking the tractor back and forth slightly makes shifting easier.
P. Differential Lock
The differential lock (H, Figure 1) can be used to increase traction by locking the transmission differential (for example when one of the rear wheels starts slip- ping). To engage, DEPRESS the differential lock pedal located at the rear of the left foot rest.
Q. Attachment Lift Pedals
The attachment lift pedals (G, Figure 1) raise and lower attachments such as mower decks, snowthrowers, and tillers.
To RAISE an attachment, depress the REAR attachment lift pedal until the desired position is achieved. Releasing the pedal holds the lift cylinder in position.
Depressing and releasing the FRONT pedal lowers the attachment lift cylinder and holds it in position. Depressing the pedal beyond the detent locks it in FLOAT position. In FLOAT mode the attachment can float through the full range of the lift cylinder.
R.Auxiliary Hydraulic Control Levers (Optional)
The auxiliary hydraulic control levers control the flow of hydraulic oil to the quick connectors located under the left footrest. See pages
