OPERATION

FIG. 11

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and 
comply with specifi cations of the manufacturer of your trac-
tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load, 
while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with 
the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 3 and 11)

When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure to disengage 
transmission by placing freewheel control in free wheel ing  
po si tion.  Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar 
of tractor.
•         Raise attachment lift to highest position with at tach ment 

lift control. 

•      Pull freewheel control out and down into the slot and 

release so it is held in the disengaged position.

•     Do not  push or tow tractor at more than two (2) 

MPH.

•      To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.

NOTE

:  To protect hood from damage when transporting 

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed 
and secured to tractor.  Use an appropriate means of tying 
hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

TO OPERATE ON HILLS 

CAUTION:  Do not drive up or down hills 
with slopes greater than 15° and do not 
drive across any slope.

•      Choose the slowest speed  before starting up or down 

hills.

•      Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.
•      If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake 

pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking 
brake.

•      Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.

IMPORTANT:

          THE  MOTION CONTROL LEVER DOES NOT 

RETURN TO NEUTRAL (N) POSITION WHEN THE CLUTCH/
BRAKE PED AL IS DEPRESSED.

•         To restart movement, slowly release parking brake and 

clutch/brake pedal.

•      Slowly move motion control lever to slowest setting.
•      Make all turns slowly.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL 

The engine in your tractor  has been shipped, from the 
factory, already fi lled with sum mer weight oil.  
•      Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.  
•         Remove oil fi ll cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the 

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, 
remove and read oil level.  If necessary, add oil until  
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached.  Do not overfi ll.

•      For cold weather operation you should change oil for 

easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the 
Maintenance sec tion of this manual).   

•      To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in 

this manual.

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System 
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse 
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off 
the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" 
position.

 WARNING:

  Backing up with the attachment clutch en-

gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the 
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment 
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator 
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the 
attachment engaged. 

Do not mow in reverse unless 

absolutely necessary

.

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM -
Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders 
will enter the mowing area.
•      Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.
•         With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise 

to ROS "ON" position.

•      Look down and behind before and while backing.
•         Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) po si tion 

to start movement.

•     When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the 

ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

SERVICE REMINDER/HOUR METER

Service reminder shows the total number of hours the 
engine has run and fl ashes to indicate that the engine 
or mower needs servicing. When service is required, the 
service reminder will fl ash for two hours. To service engine 
and mower, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

NOTE

: Service reminder runs when the ignition key is in 

any position but "STOP". For accurate reading, be sure 
key remains in the "STOP" position when engine is not 
running.
