disengages attachments that use the PTO. To engage
the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to

electrical system.
RUN

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.

The tractor’s forward ground speed is controlled by the
forward ground speed control pedal. The tractor’s
reverse ground speed is controlled by the reverse
ground speed control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed.

when the tractor is stopped. Fully depressing the brake
pedal and pulling up on the knob engages the parking
