The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any
adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a
wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE
Your tractor is equipped with an operator
presence sensing switch. When engine
is running, any attempt by the operator to
leave the seat without first setting the parking
brake will shut off the engine.
1. Depress clutch/brake pedal (B) all the
way down and hold.
2. Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold,
release pressure from clutch/brake pedal
(B), then release parking brake lever.
Pedal should remain in brake position.
Ensure parking brake will hold tractor
secure.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D)
Always operate engine at full speed (fast).
• Operating engine at less than full speed
(fast) reduces engine's operating efficiency.
• Full speed (fast) of fers the best mower

ENGINE -
• Move throttle control (D) to slow position.
NOTE:
Failure to move throttle control
to slow position and allowing engine to
idle before stopping may cause engine to
“backfire”.
• Turn ignition key (F) to “STOP” position
and remove key. Always remove key when
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.
• Never use the cold weather starting
position to stop the engine.
IMPORTANT:
Leaving the ignition switch in
any position other than "STOP" will cause the
battery to discharge and go dead.
NOTE:
Under certain conditions when tractor
is standing idle with the engine running, hot
engine exhaust gases may cause “browning”
of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always
stop engine when stopping tractor on grass
areas.
CAUTION:
Always stop tractor
completely, as described above, before
leaving the operator's position.
