PTO (Power Take-off) Lever
The PTO lever is located
on the left side of the
dashboard next to the
steering wheel. Move the
PTO lever forward to engage power to the cutting deck
or other (separately available) attachments; move the
PTO lever backward (toward the rear of the tractor) to
disengage power to the attachments.
NOTE: The PTO lever must be in the off position when
(i) starting the engine, (ii) travelling in reverse or (iii) if
the operator leaves the seat.
Parking Brake Button
To set the parking brake,
fully depress the brake
pedal and push the parking
brake button in. Hold the
button in while taking your
foot off the brake pedal.
Both the parking button
and the brake pedal will
then stay depressed. To
release the parking brake,
depress the brake pedal
slightly. The parking brake
button will then return to its
original position.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine
will automatically shut off.
IMPORTANT:
Always set the parking brake when
leaving the tractor unattended.
Deck Lift Lever
Located on your tractor’s right fender, 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.
Cruise Control Button
The cruise control button is
located on the dash panel
of the tractor to the left of
the ignition switch. Push
the cruise control button
while the tractor is traveling
forward at a desired speed.
Holding the button in,
release pressure from the
drive pedal. This will
engage cruise control and
allow the tractor to maintain
that speed without applying
pressure to the drive pedal. Depress the brake pedal or
the drive pedal to deactivate cruise control. Refer to
OPERATING YOUR LAWN TRACTOR section on
page 12 for detailed instructions.
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.
Seat Adjustment Lever
To adjust the seat forward or backward, slide the seat
adjustment lever to the left and reposition the seat to
the desired position. Once a comfortable position is
found, release the seat adjustment lever to lock the
seat in place. Refer to Seat Adjustment on page 17 for
more detailed instructions.
