Advance throttle to operating speed (full
speed).4.
The operator must remain in tractor seat at all
times. If operator should leave tractor seat
without turning off the power take-off switch,
the engine will automatically shut off.5.
pro switch must be in the "OFF" position
when shifting the tractor into reverse or the
pro will shut off automatically. To re-engage
the pro, shift unit into neutral. Move pro
switch to "OFF" position and then move pro
switch to "ON" position.
Always be sure the rear wheels are free to turn.
Under any adverse conditions, do not attempt to
free the tractor by speeding up the engine and
suddenly engaging the clutch. Try backing out in-
stead of going forward.

Do not leave the seat of the tractor
without depressing the brake pedal
and setting the brake lock. If leaving
the tractor unattended, also turn the
ignition key off and remove the key.
ADJUSTMENTS
DRIVING ON SLOPES
Before operating the tractor on any slope, walk the
slope to look for possible hazards such as rocks,mounds,
ruts, stumps or other surface ir-
regularities which could cause an upset.
Back the tractor with implement up the steepest
portion of each slope you intend to work. If the
tractor cannot negotiate the slope in reverse, the
slope is too steep to be worked.
~ CAUTION
Always drive up or down the face of
a slope. Do not drive so that the
tractor may tip over sideways.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
Before starting the tractor, adjust the seat to the
most comfortable driving position. Tilt the seat
forward over the steering wheel, loosen the four
cap screws in the seat support, and slide the seat
assembly forward or rearward to the position
which is most comfortable for the operator. See
figure 14.
Retighten the cap screws after the seat is ad-justed.
NOTE: The battery is located in a well under the
operator's seat for ease in servicing or replace-
ment when necessary.
Avoid turns when driving on a slope. If a turn must
be made, turn down the slope. Turning up a slope
greatly increases the chance of a rollover.
Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is
necessary to stop while driving up a slope, start
up smoothly and carefully to reduce the possibili-
ty of flipping the tractor over backward.
STOPPING THE TRACTOR
Move the speed control lever to the "N" position
or use the standard brake pedal. Before dismount-
ing always lock the brake pedal and turn the igni-
tion "OFF." Also disengage the power take-off
control switch.
