PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and
disengages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the
PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage.
Note that the operator must be seated firmly in the tractor
seat for the PTO to function.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
three positions:
OFF
Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical
system.
RUN
Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical
system.
START
Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake.
Ground Speed Pedals
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.
Note that the further down the pedal is depressed, the
faster the tractor will travel.
Parking Brake
The parking brake knob is used to lock the parking brake
when the tractor is stopped. Fully depressing the brake
pedal and pulling up on the knob engages the parking
brake.
Mower Height of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between 1.5 -
4.0” (3,8 - 10,2 cm).
The cutting height adjustment switch controls the mower
cutting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The arrows
on the switch correspond to the direction of adjustment
(UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow rotates
the spout right, etc). When the adjustment indicator has
reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding
the switch down will damage the motor.
Cruise Control
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed
control in forward. Move the lever forward until the
desired ground speed is reached. To disengage the
cruise control move the lever back. In the event you need
to stop quickly, depressing the brake pedal will also return
the cruise control to neutral.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever, position the seat as desired, and release the lever
to lock the seat into position.
Transmission Release Lever
The transmission release lever deactivates the
transmission so that the tractor can be pushed by hand.
See PUSHING THE TRACTOR BY HAND for operational
information.
Fuel Tank
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise. On models
with a dashboard display, the fuel gauge is part of the
dashboard. Models without a dashboard display have a
fuel gauge located under the seat.
