STOPPING THE TRACTOR
1.On hydro models, move the ground speed control
lever (J, figure 13) into the NEUTRAL position to
make a gradual stop. To make a more rapid stop,
depress the clutch/brake pedal (N, figure 13).
NOTE: On hydro models, the ground speed control
lever will return to neutral automatically when the
clutch/brake pedal is depressed.
On gear models, press the clutch/brake pedal (N, fig-
ure 13) down only far enough to disengage the clutch
to make a gradual stop. For a more rapid stop, press
pedal down farther to apply the brake. Move the
ground speed control lever to NEUTRAL before
releasing the pedal.
2.Engage the parking brake by fully depressing
clutch/brake pedal and pulling up on parking brake
knob (K, figure 13).
3.Use the PTO switch (I, figure 13) to disengage the
PTO.
4.Set the engine speed control lever (B, figure 13) to
1/2 throttle setting and allow the engine to idle for 20
seconds. Stopping a hot engine too fast may cause
engine damage.
5.Turn key (L, figure 13) to OFF and remove it.
WARNING
Before leaving the operator’s position for any
reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.
WARNING
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, tractor
and mower free of grass, leaves and excess
grease. Do not stop or park tractor over dry
leaves, grass or combustible materials.
