OPERATION
Engaging the PTO (Manual PTO tractors)
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck or other (separately available)
attachments. To engage the PTO:
1. Move the throttle to the FAST position.
2. Push the PTO handle forward into the engaged (ON) position. See Figure 27.
Figure 27
Note: When operating the tractor be certain that the throttle is always in the
FAST position. Operating with the throttle at less than full throttle may
lead to premature battery wear and a poor quality cut.
3. To disengage the PTO, pull the PTO handle rearward into the disengaged (OFF)
position.
Using the Differential Lock (If equipped)
WARNING
When the differential lock is on, be sure to allow for a larger turning radius
and greater steering effort.
WARNING
Engage the differential lock only when the vehicle is stationary. Do not use
the differential lock when traveling downhill.
Note: The system should only be used when poor traction is encountered. It should
be disengaged when traveling on solid surfaces.
In some instances, the tractor may be driven in slippery or low-traction situations
and it may be necessary to activate the differential lock. To use the differential lock
proceed as follows.
1. Stop the motion of the tractor.
2. Press down on the pedal to engage the differential lock.
Note: The differential lock only works while the pedal is pressed.
Note: Engagement may be delayed. The differential lock will engage when
different wheel speeds are detected.
Note: Disengagement may be delayed. The differential lock will disengage
when the rear wheel speeds allow it to release.
3. To disengage the differential lock, release the pedal.
Using the Deck Lift Lever
To raise or lower the cutting deck, move the lift lever to the left, then place it in the
notch best suited for your application.
Operating the Headlights
On turn-key tractors the lamps are ON whenever the ignition key is rotated out of the
STOP position. The lamps turn OFF when the ignition key is moved to the STOP
position.
On PBS tractors the lamps are ON whenever the PBS module is on. Headlights can be
activated for 15 seconds without being on the seat by pressing the ignition key once.
To keep the headlights active you can sit in the seat or start/run the engine.
Engaging the PTO (Electric PTO tractors)
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck or other (separately available)
attachments. To engage the PTO:
1. Move the throttle to the FAST position.
2. Pull the PTO switch up/out into the engaged (ON) position. See Figure 26.
Figure 26
Note: When operating the tractor be certain that the throttle is always in the
FAST position. Operating with the throttle at less than full throttle may
lead to premature battery wear and a poor quality cut.
3. To disengage the PTO, push the PTO switch down/in to the disengaged (OFF)
position.
