Parking Brake Light
When the parking brake light is on, it indicates the
parking brake is set. The machine will not drive while the
parking brake is set.
PTO Light
When the PTO light is on, it indicates the implement is
being powered. The PTO clutch must be disengaged
before the engine will start.
Battery Light
The battery light will be on when the key is in the run or
lights positions if the battery voltage is below 12.1 volts
or above 15.0 volts. If the light comes on at a higher
RPM, it is important to have your battery and electrical
system checked and the problem corrected.
Operating–in–Reverse Warning Light
The Operating–in–Reverse warning light will illuminate
whenever the KeyChoice key is used to deactivate the
operating–in–reverse interlock. It is a reminder that the
interlock system is deactivated. The light goes out
whenever the PTO is disengaged or the engine is shut off.
When the light is on, look behind and use extra caution
when backing. Be especially watchful for children and
pets.
Oil Pressure Light
When the oil light is on, it indicates the engine oil
pressure is low. After the engine starts the light should go
out. When the engine is running, the light comes on if the
oil pressure drops below a safe operating level. If the light
comes on while the engine is running, stop the engine
immediately and correct the cause of low oil pressure.
Cruise Control Light
The cruise control light indicates that the cruise control
system is activated.
Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
This gauge shows the oil temperature in the engine. If the
gauge enters the red zone, disengage the PTO and allow
the engine to cool while continuing to run the engine.
If the gauge does not show temperatures dropping, stop
the engine immediately, clean the air intake screens,
and/or correct the cause of high temperature.
Fuel Level Gauge
This gauge shows the level of fuel remaining.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. NO TAG) records the amount of
time the engine has run. Use it to schedule regular
maintenance.
Driving Forward or Backward
1. Stop the tractor.
Important Do not shift gears with the tractor in
motion. Internal transmission damage may result.
Important
Do not force the shift lever. Applying
slight pressure to the traction control pedal while shifting
will help the gears engage.
2. Shift into high (H) or low (L) forward speed with the
High-Low lever (Fig. NO TAG).
Note: Use low for best mowing performance and
smoothest operation with all attachments. Use high for
transporting or where conditions permit higher speed.
Danger
Driving with excessive speed on slopes can cause
you to rollover or lose control, resulting in serious
injury or death to you or bystanders.
•
Do not shift into neutral while moving.
•
Do not allow the tractor to roll freely in neutral
on slopes.
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions in
the Operator’s Manual and on the machine
before starting.
3. Place the throttle control in the fast position for best
performance. (The throttle control regulates engine
revolutions per minute.)
4. Place your foot on the traction control pedal and
slowly press on the top of the pedal to move forward,
or on the bottom of the pedal to move backward (Fig.
17).
Note: The farther you move the pedal in either direction,
the faster the machine will move in that direction.
