Operating the Headlights
The lamps are ON whenever the ignition key is rotated out of the
STOP position. The lamps turn OFF when the ignition key is
moved to the STOP position.
Engaging the PTO
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck or other
(separately available) attachments. To engage the PTO:
NOTE:
During your units initial break-in period, in order to engage
the PTO and avoid engine stall, allow the engine to warm before
engaging the PTO. Break-In period varies depending on your engine.
1.
Move the throttle control lever to the FAST
position.
2.
Pull the PTO/Blade Engage lever
upward into the ON
position. See Figure 5-3.
Figure 5-3
NOTE:
When operating the tractor be certain that the
throttle lever is always in the FAST
(rabbit) position.
Operating with the throttle at less than full throttle may
lead to premature battery wear and a poor quality cut.
Using the Differential Lock (If so equipped)
WARNING!
When the differential lock is on, be
sure to allow for a larger turning radius and greater
steering effort.
WARNING!
Engage the differential lock only when
the vehicle is stationary. Do not use the differential
lock when traveling downhill.
NOTE:
The system should only be used when poor traction is
encountered. It should be disengaged when traveling on solid
surfaces.
In some instances, the tractor may be driven in slippery or
low-traction situations and it may be necessary to activate the
differential lock. To use the differential lock proceed as follows.
1.
Stop the motion of the tractor.
2.
With the brake engaged, press down on the button on the
differential lock handle and move the handle in to engage
the differential lock. The indicator light on the dash will
illuminate when the system is activated. See Figure 5-4.

Figure 5-4
NOTE:
The differential lock will engage when forward
or reverse motion of the tractor is started. The light only
indicates that the lock is activated.
3.
To disengage the differential lock, stop the motion of the
tractor, engage the brake and press down on the button
and move to handle out. Release the handle to lock into
place. The indicator light will go off when the system is off.
See Figure 5-4.
NOTE:
The differential lock will disengage when forward
or reverse motion of the tractor is started. The light turning
off only indicates that the lock is deactivated.
