To stop the lawn tractor, pull the hydrostatic control lever into NEUTRAL (N) or depress the clutch-brake pedal.

Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn tractor or engine. For best results and to insure more even grass distribution, do not mow when lawn is excessively wet.
