PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and
disengages attachments that use the PTO. To engage
the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to
disengage.
Note that the operator must be seated firmly
in the tractor seat for the PTO to function.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
three positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake.
Ground Speed Pedals
The tractor’s forward ground speed is controlled by the
forward ground speed control pedal. The tractor’s
reverse ground speed is controlled by the reverse
ground speed control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed.
Note that the further down the pedal is depressed, the
faster the tractor will travel.
Parking Brake
The parking brake knob is used to lock the parking brake
when the tractor is stopped. Fully depressing the brake
pedal and pulling up on the knob engages the parking
brake.
Mower Height of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between 1” and
3-5/8.”
Electric Height of Cut Models: The cutting height
adjustment switch controls the mower cutting height.
This same switch also controls the spout rotator motor
when a snowthrower is installed. The arrows on the
switch correspond to the direction of adjustment (UP
arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow rotates the
spout right, etc). When the adjustment indicator has
reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding
the switch down will damage the motor.
Cruise Control (Select Models)
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed
control in forward. Move the lever forward until the
desired ground speed is reached. To disengage the
cruise control move the lever back. In the event you
need to stop quickly, depressing the brake pedal will also
return the cruise control to neutral.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever, position the seat as desired, and release the lever
to lock the seat into position.
Transmission Release Valve Lever
The transmission release valve lever deactivates the
transmission so that the tractor can be pushed by hand.
See PUSHING THE TRACTOR BY HAND for
operational information.
Fuel Tank
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise. On models
with a dashboard display, the fuel gauge is part of the
dashboard. Models without a dashboard display have a
fuel gauge located under the seat.
Power Outlet (Select Models)
The power outlet is 12V-DC. Accessory must be rated at
14 amps or less.
Steering Tilt Adjust (Select Models)
Use the tilt knob located on the bellows to release the
pivot mechanism and pivot the wheel to the desired
position. Release the tilt knob to lock in position.
Attachment Lift Control Lever
When using the mower deck, lift the deck off the ground
while transporting to and from the job site. DO NOT cut
with the mower in the raised, transport position.
Manual Lift Models: The attachment lift control lever
raises and lowers attachments that utilize the tractor’s
manual lift linkage.
