Systems Indicator Monitor / Hour Meter
Your tractor is equipped with four indicator lights and an hour meter as
shown in the figure here.
If the brake light or PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the unit,
proceed as follows:
It is normal for the oil light and the battery light to illuminate while the engine
is cranking, but if either illuminates while the engine is running, follow the
steps below as per indication:
Shift Lever
The shift lever has three positions: FORWARD (F), NEUTRAL (N) and
REVERSE (R).These control the direction of movement of the tractor.
Depress the brake pedal and let the tractor stop before moving the shift
lever to one of these three positions.
IMPORTANT:
Never force the shift lever. Doing so may result in serious
damage to the tractor’s transmission.
Cruise Control Button
NOTE: The cruise control feature should only be utilized while traveling in the forward direction.
•
To engage the cruise control, follow these steps:
1.
Place shift lever in FORWARD position, then slowly depress the drive pedal until desired speed is achieved.
2.
Lightly depress the cruise control button.
3.
While continuing to hold the cruise button in, lift your foot from the drive
pedal (you should feel the cruise latch engage).
4.
Once engaged, the cruise control button and the drive pedal will lock in
the “down” position, and the tractor will maintain the same forward
speed.
NOTE: Cruise control cannot be engaged at the tractor’s fastest ground
speed. If the operator should attempt to do so, the tractor will automatically
decelerate to the fastest optimal mowing ground speed.
WARNING:
Never move the key into the Start position while the engine is running. Doing so may cause
damage to your engine’s starter.
