The farther you move the traction control levers in either
direction, the faster the machine will move in that direction.

To stop, pull the motion control levers to neutral.

Backward

1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position.

2. To go backward, slowly pull the motion control levers

rearward (Fig. 9).

To go straight, apply equal pressure to both motion control
levers (Fig. 9).

To turn, release the pressure on the motion control lever
toward the direction you want to turn (Fig. 9).

To stop, push the motion control levers to neutral.

Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, move the traction control levers to
neutral and separate to lock, disengage the PTO, and turn
the ignition key to Off to stop the engine. Also set the
parking brake when you leave the machine; refer to Setting
the Parking Brake, page 13. Remember to remove the key
from the ignition switch.

Important

Do not engage the parking brake while the

machine is moving. Damage to the drive system may occur.

Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.

Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.

Caution

Adjusting the Height of Cut

The height of cut is adjusted from 1-1/2 to 4-1/2 in. (38 to
114 mm) in 1/2 in. (13 mm) increments by relocating the
clevis pin in different hole locations.

1. Raise the height-of-cut lever to the transport position

(also the 4-1/2 in. (114 mm) cutting height position)
(Fig. 10).

2. To adjust, remove the hairpin cotter and clevis pin from

the height-of-cut bracket (Fig. 10).

3. Select the hole in the height-of-cut bracket

corresponding to the height-of-cut desired, and insert
the clevis pin (Fig. 10).

4. Secure the clevis pin with the hairpin cotter (Fig. 10).
