WARNING
Read and follow all safety rules and instructions in this manual, including
the entire Operation section, before attempting to operate this machine.
Failure to comply with all safety rules and instructions may result in
personal injury
Forward Drive Pedal (A)
The forward drive pedal is located on the right side of the machine, along the running
board. Press the forward drive pedal forward to cause the tractor to travel forward.
Ground speed is also controlled with the forward drive pedal. The further forward the
pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original/
neutral position when it’s not pressed.
Reverse Drive Pedal (B)
The reverse drive pedal is located on the right side of the tractor along the running board.
Ground speed is also controlled with the reverse drive pedal. The further downward the
pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original/
neutral position when it’s not pressed.
Brake Pedal (C)
The brake pedal is located on the left side of the tractor, along the running board.
The brake pedal can be used for stopping the tractor or setting the parking brake.
Note: The brake pedal must be fully depressed to activate the safety interlock switch
when starting the tractor.
Throttle/Choke Control Lever (D) (If equipped)
The throttle/choke control lever is located on the left side of the
tractor’s dash panel. This lever controls the speed of the engine and,
when pushed all the way forward, past the detent position closes the
choke for cold starting. When set in a given position, the throttle will
maintain a uniform engine speed.
Note: When operating the tractor with the cutting deck engaged,
be certain that the throttle/choke control is always in the FAST
position.
Throttle Control (D) (If equipped)
The throttle control is located on the left side of the tractor’s dash
panel. When set in a given position, a uniform engine speed will be
maintained.
Push the throttle control handle forward to increase the engine
speed. The tractor is designed to operate with the throttle control
in the FAST position (full throttle) when the mower deck is
engaged.
Pull the throttle control handle rearward to decrease the engine
speed.
Choke Control (If equipped) (E)
The choke control can be found on the right side of the dash panel
and is activated by pulling the knob outward. Activating the choke
control closes the choke plate on the carburetor and aids in starting
the engine.
Deck Lift Lever (F)
Electric PTO tractors
Manual PTO tractors
The lift lever is located in the right fender and is used to raise and lower the deck. Pull
the handle to the left out of the index notch and push downward to lower the deck,
or pull upward to raise the deck. When the desired height is attained, move the lift
handle to the right until fully in the index notch.
