R. Traction Control
Press and release switch to activate traction control
system. This system
reduces down pressure on decks
by pulsing the lift circuit, transferring weight to tractor.
Reducing down pressure improves traction but may
cause decks to float up creating an uneven cut. Light
in switch will turn on when system is active.
Press switch again to deactivate traction control. This
may reduce traction but improves deck contact with
ground.
NOTE: The traction control system must be reset after
shutting off engine.
