Figure 1. Controls

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.

Throttle Control

The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle for- ward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.

Choke

Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require chok- ing. Move the lever forward to close the choke.

Headlights

The light switch turns the tractor headlights on and off.

Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)

The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing (or use of other PTO driven attachments) while traveling in reverse. If you choose to mow or operate another attachment in reverse, turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the opera- tor can then mow in reverse. Each time the PTO is dis- engaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired.
