Driving the Tractor
1. Sit in the seat and adjust the seat so that you can
comfortably reach all the controls and see the dashboard
display (see
Features and Controls
).
2. Engage the parking brake. Fully depress the brake
pedal, pull UP on the parking brake control, and release
the brake pedal.
3. Make sure the PTO switch is disengaged.
4. Start the engine (see
Starting the Engine
).
5. Disengage the parking brake. Fully depress the brake
pedal, press DOWN on the parking brake control, and
release the brake pedal.
6. Depress the forward ground speed control pedal to
travel forward. Release the pedal to stop. Note that the
further down the pedal is depressed the faster the tractor
will travel.
7. Stop the tractor by releasing the ground speed control
pedals, setting the parking brake, and stopping the
engine (see
Stopping the Tractor and Engine
).
Mowing
1. Set the cutting height to the desired level using
the mower cutting height lever (see
Features and
Controls
).
2. Engage the parking brake. Make sure the PTO switch is
disengaged.
3. Start the engine (see
Starting the Engine
).
4. Set the throttle/choke control to the FAST position.
5. Engage the PTO to activate the mower blades.
6. Disengage the parking brake then begin mowing.
7. When finished mowing, shut off the PTO.
8. Stop the engine (see
Stopping the
Tractor and Engine
).
WARNING
The engine will shut off if the reverse ground speed
pedal is depressed while the PTO is on and the RMO has
not been activated. The operator should always turn the
PTO off prior to driving across on roads, paths, or any area
that may be used by other vehicles. Sudden loss of drive
could create a hazard.
The Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) allows the operator to
mow in reverse (see
Features and Controls
). To activate,
turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light
will illuminate, and the operator can then mow in reverse.
Each time the PTO is engaged the RMO needs to be
reactivated if desired. The key should be removed to restrict
access to the RMO.
Pushing the Tractor by Hand
1. Disengage the PTO and turn the engine off (see
Features and Controls
).
2. Pull out the lever approximately 2-3/8" (6 cm) to release
the transmission (see Figure 7).
3. The tractor can now be pushed by hand.
WARNING
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Never activate the RMO if children
are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and the
mowing activity.

WARNING
Towing the unit will cause transmission damage.
Do not use another vehicle to push or pull this unit. Do not
actuate the transmission release lever while the engine is
