Important:
Use starting cycles of no
more than 15 seconds per minute to avoid
overheating the starter motor.
Note:
Additional starting cycles may be
required when starting the engine for the first
time after the fuel system has been completely
drained.
8. Leave the throttle midway between the Slow
and Fast positions until the engine and
hydraulic system warm up.
Important:
When engine is started for
the first time, or after an engine oil change,
or an overhaul of the engine, transmission,
or wheel motor, operate the machine with
the throttle lever in the Slow position in
both the forward and reverse directions
for one to two minutes. Also operate the
lift lever and PTO lever to ensure proper
operation of all parts. Then shut the engine
off and check fluid levels, check for oil
leaks, loose parts, and any other noticeable
malfunctions.
Shut the engine off and wait for all
moving parts to stop before checking
for oil leaks, loose parts, or other
malfunctions.
Stopping the Engine
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control
levers to the neutral locked position, set the
parking brake, and move the throttle lever to
the Slow position.
2. Let the engine idle for 60 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition key to the Off position
(Figure 17). Wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
4. Remove the key before transporting or storing
machine.
Important:
Make sure to remove the key
as the fuel pump or accessories may run
and cause the battery to lose charge.
Children or bystanders may be injured
if they move or attempt to operate the
tractor while it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and
set the parking brake when leaving the
machine unattended, even if just for a
few minutes.
Driving the Machine
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the Fast position for best
performance. Always operate in the Fast throttle
position when mowing.
The machine can turn very rapidly. You may
lose control of it and cause personal injury
or damage to machine.
•
Use caution when making turns.
•
Slow the machine down before making
sharp turns.
1. Release the parking brake; refer to Releasing
the Parking Brake in Operation, page 25.
Note:
The engine will kill if the traction
control levers are moved with the parking
brake engaged.
2. Move the levers to the center, un-locked
position.
3. Drive the machine as follows:
•
To go straight forward, slowly push the
motion control levers forward (Figure 18).
•
To go Straight backward, slowly pull the
motion control levers rearward (Figure 18).
•
To turn, slow the machine by pulling back
on both levers and then push forward on
the lever on the opposite side from which
you want to turn (Figure 18).
•
To stop, pull the motion control levers to
the neutral position.
Note:
The farther you move the traction
control levers in either direction, the faster the
machine will move in that direction.
