HOW TO USE YOUR TRAC TOR

IMPORTANT:
Leaving the ignition switch
in any position other than "STOP" will
cause the battery to discharge and go
dead.

Under certain conditions when
tractor is standing idle with the engine
running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause “browning” of grass. To elim i nate
this possibility, always stop en gine when
stopping tractor on grass areas.

while mowing or transporting on relatively
smooth, straight surfaces. Other con di tions
such as trimming at slow speeds may
cause the cruise control to dis en gage. Do
not use the cruise control on slopes, rough
terrian or while trimmimg or turning.
