Refer to the illustration in Figure 2 that matches your
unit.
Headlight Switch
This turns the tractor headlights on and off.
Throttle/Choke Control (Choke-A-Matic)
The throttle/choke controls the engine speed and
choke (see Figure 1). Move the throttle/choke
control to the FAST position to increase engine
speed and SLOW position to decrease engine
speed. Always operate at full throttle. Move the
throttle/choke control to the CHOKE position for
starting a cold engine. A warm engine may not
require choking.
Mower Height of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height adjustment knob controls
the mower cutting height. The cutting height is
adjustable between 1.0" and 4.0" (2,5 and 10,2
cm).
Hourmeter (if equipped)
The hour meter measures the number of hours the
key has been in the RUN position.
Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing
(or use of other PTO driven attachments) while
traveling in reverse. If you choose to mow in
reverse, turn the RMO key after the PTO is
engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the
operator can then mow in reverse. Each time the
PTO is engaged the RMO needs to be reactivated
if desired.
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: 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:
Stops the engine and shuts off the
STOP STOP
OFF
electrical system.
Allows the engine to run and powers the
RUN
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.
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.
Cruise Control
The cruise control is used to lock the ground
speed control in forward. The cruise control has
five lock positions.
Attachment Lift Control Lever
(if equipped)
The mower deck lift lever raises and lowers the
mower deck and has two positions: Transport
and free-float. Set the lever to free-float for
mowing. Set the lever to transport when using
the tractor for non-mowing applications or
when transporting the tractor. DO NOT engage
the PTO with the mower in the raised transport
position or you may damage the belt.
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 Lever
The transmission release lever deactivates the
transmission so that the tractor can be pushed
by hand. See Pushing the Tractor by Hand
section.
Fuel Tank
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.
Fuel Level Gauge
Displays the fuel level in the tank.
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.
