If the Brake light or PTO light illuminates when
attempting to start the unit, proceed as follows:
Brake —
Engage the parking brake.
PTO —
Move the PTO knob into the disengaged
(OFF) position.
It is normal for the Oil light and the Battery light to
illuminate while the engine is cranking, but if either
illuminates while the engine is running, proceed as
follows:
Oil—
Stop the tractor immediately and check the
crankcase oil level as instructed in the
Briggs & Stratton Operator/Owner Manual
included. Add oil as required.
Battery—
If this light illuminate’s while the engine is
running, it indicates that the battery is in
need of a charge OR that the engine’s
charging system is not generating
sufficient amperage. Refer to
Battery
on
page 22 of this manual for the proper
battery charging procedure or have the
engine’s charging system checked by an
authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer.
The hour meter operates whenever the ignition key is in
the On or On/Lights position and records the actual
hours of tractor operation.

left of the seat, just to the rear of the parking brake
lever.

depress the brake pedal and
push the parking brake button in.
Hold the button in while taking

pedal slightly. The parking brake
button will then return to its original position.
