LIFT LEVER

The lift lever is used to change the operating position
(height) of the cutting deck. To operate, move the
lever to the left, then place in the notch best suited
for your application.

PTO (POWER TAKE-OFF) LEVER

The PTO lever is located on the left side of the dash
next to the steering wheel. Move the PTO lever
forward to engage the power to the cutting deck or
other attachments; move the PTO lever backward
(toward the rear of the tractor) to disengage the
power to the attachments.

NOTE:

The PTO lever must be in the disengaged

(OFF) position when starting the engine, when
shifting into reverse and if the operator leaves the
seat.

DRIVE PEDAL

The drive pedal is located below the brake pedal on
the right front side of the tractor along the running
board. Depress the drive pedal with your right foot
when the tractor shift lever is in either forward or
reverse to cause the tractor to move. Ground speed
is also controlled with the drive pedal. The further
down the pedal is depressed, the faster the tractor
will travel. The pedal will return to its original position
when it’s not depressed.

IMPORTANT:

Always set the parking brake

when leaving the tractor unattended.

The brake pedal is located on the right front side of
the tractor above the drive pedal along the running

stops or for setting the parking brake.

activate the safety interlock switch when starting the
tractor

PARKING BRAKE BUTTON

To set the parking brake, fully depress
the brake pedal and push the parking
brake button in. Hold the button in
while taking your foot off the brake
pedal. Both the parking button and
the brake pedal will then stay
depressed. To release the parking
brake, depress the brake pedal
slightly. The parking brake button will
then return to its original position.

NOTE:

The parking brake must be set if the

operator leaves the seat with the engine running or
the engine will automatically shut off.

IMPORTANT:

Always set the parking brake

when leaving the tractor unattended.
