OPERATION
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor
or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 4)
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-
ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the
operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking
brake will shut off the engine.
• Depress clutch/brake pedal (B) all the way down and
hold.
Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, release pres-
sure from clutch/brake pedal (B), then release parking
brake lever. Pedal should remain in brake position.
Ensure parking brake will hold tractor securely.

STOPPING (See Fig. 5)
MOWER BLADES -
• To stop mower blades, place attachment clutch control
in the "DISENGAGED" position (t_).
• Turn ignitionkey (F) to "STOP"position and remove key.
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent
unauthorized use.
• Never use the choke to stop the engine.
IIVlPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY
POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY
TO BE DISCHARGED (DEAD).
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing
idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-
ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.
CAUTION: Always stop tractor corn=
pletely, as described above, and set
parking brake before leaving the opera=
tot's position.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D) (See Fig. 6)
Always operate engine at full speed (fast).
• Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces
the engine's operating efficiency.
• Full speed (fast) offers the best mower performance.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and full
speed (fast) position, before stopping may cause engine
to "backfi re."

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (N) (See Fig. 6)

Do not use to start a warm engine.
• To engage choke control (N), pull knob out. Slowly

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
(See Fig. 7)
The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the
forward and reverse drive pedals.
