Driving Backward
1. Move the levers to the center, un-locked position.
2. To go backward, slowly pull the motion control
levers rearward (Figure 19).
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both motion
control levers (Figure 19).
To turn, release pressure on the motion control lever
toward the direction you want to turn (Figure 19).
To stop, push the motion control levers to the
neutral position.
Stopping the Machine
To stop the machine, move the traction control levers
to neutral and move to locked position, disengage the
power take off (PTO), and turn the ignition key to off.
Set the parking brake when you leave the machine; refer
to Setting the Parking Brake in Operation. Remember
to remove the key from the ignition switch.
CAUTION
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.
Adjusting the Control Lever
Resistance
The top damper mounting bolt can be adjusted to
obtain a desired motion control lever resistance. Refer
to Figure 20 for the mounting options.
Torque the bolt to 200 in-lb (22.6 N-m).

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
The height-of-cut is adjusted from 1-1/2 to 5 inch
(38 to 127 mm) in 1/4 inch (6 mm) increments by
relocating the pin into different hole locations.
1. Raise the height-of-cut lever to the transport
position (also the 5 inch (127 mm) cutting height
position) (Figure 21).
