AMMETER (If Equipped)
The ammeter registers the rate of battery charge or
discharge. The ammeter will register on the discharging
side when starting the engine. It should register on the
opposite side (charging) when the engine is running in
the fast position until the battery is completely charged.
With a fully charged battery or with the engine idling,
the ammeter will not show a charge. See Figure 18.

CLUTCH-BRAKE PEDAL
The clutch-brake pedal is located on the left side of the
tractor. See Figure 18. Depressing the clutch-brake
pedal partway disengages the clutch. Pressing the
pedal all the way down disengages the clutch and
engages the disc brake.
NOTE:
The clutch-brake pedal must be depressed to
start the engine.
SHIFT LEVER
The shift lever is located in the center of the console
and has four positions, HIGH, LOW, NEUTRAL and
REVERSE. See Figure 19. The clutch-brake pedal
must be depressed and the garden tractor must not be
moving when shifting gears. Do not force the shift lever.
Release the clutch-brake pedal slightly to line up the
shifting collar in the transmission. Then try to shift
gears.
PARKING BRAKE
To set the parking brake, depress the clutch-brake
pedal and pull up the parking brake knob. It will stay in
the raised position. To release the parking brake,
depress and release the clutch-brake pedal. See Figure
19.
NOTE:
The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running.
