Ariens 929001 - Manual (Page 5)

® BRAKE LOCK - Figures 2 and 3
A brake lock is provided on both hydrostatic and
gear shift models to prevent the tractor from moving
when parked or left unattended.
^ To lock the brake, push the brake lock forward with the
foot pedal fully depressed. Then release the foot pedal.
Figure 2 shows the brake lock engaged. Figure 3 shows it
disengaged.
IMPORTANT: ENGAGE THE BRAKE LOCK BEFORE DIS­
MOUNTING FROM THE TRACTOR OR ANY TIME IT IS
LEFT UNATTENDED.
© FREE-WHEELING VALVE (Hydrostatic Models) -
Figure 5
The free-wheeling valve is provided so the tractor
can be pushed short distances with the engine stopped.
The cam arm, see Figure 5, must be in the forward po­
sition as shown at all times except when it becomes neces­
sary to push the tractor.
CAM ARM IN OPER­
ATING POSITION
If it becomes necessary to move the tractor with the engine
stopped, rotate the cam arm rearward so the valve actuating
rod is pushed down into the transmission body. After moving
the tractor the cam arm must be returned to the operating
position before the tractor will move with the engine running.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOW TRACTOR AS INTERNAL
TRANSMISSION DAMAGE COULD RESUL T.

© IGNITION AND STARTER SWITCH - Figure 6
The ignition and starter switch has three positions;
"off", "run"and "start". Start the engine by turning
the key fully clockwise to start position and then release the
key as soon as the engine starts. Stop the engine by turning
the key counterclockwise to the "off" position.
® THROTTLE-CHOKE CONTROL LEVER - Figure 6
This control operates both the throttle and choke.
When starting a cold engine, raise the lever past the
offset and into the "choke" position. After the engine has
started, lower the lever to the throttle operating range and
allow the engine to warm at V4 throttle. Select the appropriate
engine speed in the throttle range after the engine has warmed.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the mower or snow thrower
should be operated at full throttle. The throttle is not to be
used to select desired travel speeds with the hydrostatic
models. Operate at full throttle and regulate ground speed
with the hydrostatic control lever.
© LIGHT SWITCH (Optional)-(Figure 6)
If the optional light kit is installed, turn lights on by
pulling the control knob out. Turn lights off by
pushing the knob in;
ATTACHMENT LIFT LEVER-(Figure 7)
The lift lever shown in figure 7 is used to raise and
lower the mower, front blade or snow thrower.
To raise the attachment, pull the lever to the rear until
the latch snaps into the notch provided. This will hold the
attachment in the raised position.
