the deck lift lever is used to change 

the height of the cutting deck. To 

use, move the lever to the left, then 

place in the notch best suited for 

your application.

Ignition Switch Module

WARNING! 

Never 

leave a running 

machine unattended. 

Always disengage 

PTO, set parking 

brake, stop engine 

and remove key to 

prevent unintended 

starting.

To start the engine, insert the key 

into the ignition switch and turn 

clockwise to the START position. 

Release the key into the 

NORMAL MOWING MODE

 position once 

the engine has fired.
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the 

STOP position.

CAUTION:

 

Prior to operating the tractor, refer to 

both Safety Interlock Switches and Starting The 

Engine in the Operation section of this manual for 

detailed instructions regarding the Ignition Switch 

Module and operating the tractor in REVERSE 

CAUTION MODE

.

Drive Pedal

The drive pedal is located on the right side 

of the tractor, along the running board. Press 

the drive pedal forward to cause the tractor 

to travel forward. Ground speed is also 

controlled with the drive pedal. The further 

forward that the pedal is pivoted, the faster 

the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to 

its original position when it’s not pressed.

Shift Lever

The Shift Lever is used to shift the tractor’s drive 

from Forward, Reverse and Neutral.

Systems Indicator Monitor/Hour Meter LCD

When the ignition key is 

rotated out of the STOP 

position but not into 

the START position, the 

system’s indicator monitor 

displays the battery’s 

output, in volts, on its 

LCD for approximately 

five seconds, after which 

it displays an hour glass 

and the hours of tractor 

operation. Once the 

tractor is started, the 

monitor continually displays an hour glass and the hours of 

tractor operation on its LCD.

NOTE: 

Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the 

ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of 

whether the engine is started. 
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of 

maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will 

alternately flash the recorded hours, “CHG” and “OIL” for five 

minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The 

maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 

150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five 

minutes every time the tractor’s engine has been started during 

this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change 

the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance section of this 

Operator’s Manual.

Brake

If the Brake light illuminates when attempting to start the 

tractor’s engine, depress the brake pedal.

PTO (Blade Engage)

If the PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor’s 

engine, move PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position.

Oil

It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine is 

cranking during start-up, but if it illuminates during operation, 

while the engine is running, stop the tractor immediately and 

check the engine oil level as instructed in this Owner’s Manual.

Battery

It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is 

cranking during start-up, but if it illuminates during operation, 

while the engine is running, the battery is in need of a charge 

or the engine’s charging system is not generating sufficient 

amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the Service 

section of this manual or have the charging system checked by 

your authorized service dealer.
