AMMETER (Optional)
The ammeter registers the rate of battery charge or
discharge. The ammeter will register on the discharg­
ing side when starting the engine. It should register on
the opposite side (charging) when the engine is run­
ning in the fast position until the battery is completely
charged. With a fully charged battery or with the
engine idling, the ammeter will not show a charge. See
figure 15.
CLUTCH-BRAKE PEDAL
The clutch-brake pedal is located on the left side of the
tractor. See figure 15. Depressing the clutch-brake
pedal partway disengages the clutch. Pressing the
pedal all the way down disengages the clutch and
engages the disc brake.
NOTE: The clutch-brake pedal must be depressed to
start the engine.
SHIFT LEVER
The shift lever is located in the center of the console
and has four positions, HIGH, LOW, NEUTRAL and
REVERSE. See figure 16. The clutch-brake pedal
must be depressed and the lawn tractor must not be
moving when shifting gears. Do not force the shift
lever. Release the clutch-brake pedal slightly to line up
the shifting collar in the transmission. Then try to shift
gears.
PARKING BRAKE
To set the parking brake, depress the clutch-brake
pedal and pull up the parking brake knob. It will stay in
the raised position. To release the parking brake,
depress and release the clutch-brake pedal. See
figure 16.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running.

forward to increase speed. When desired speed has
been obtained, release lever in that position. When­
ever clutch is engaged, unit will automatically go to the
pre-set speed.

The five position lift lever is used to change the operat­
ing position of the attachments. To operate, pull the
lever towards you. To release, move the lever to the
right and then forward. See figure 15.

position (down) when starting the engine, when shift­
ing into reverse and if the operator leaves the seat.
