HOW TO USE YOUR TRAC TOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 4)
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-

 ing  switch.  When engine is running, any attempt by the 

op er a tor to leave the seat without first setting the parking 

brake will shut off the engine.
•  Depress brake pedal (B) all the way down and hold.
• 

Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, re lease pres-

 sure from brake pedal (B), then release parking brake 

lever.  Pedal should re main in brake position.  Make 

sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

GROUND DRIVE -
•  To stop ground drive, depress brake pedal into full 

“BRAKE” position.

IMPORTANT: FORWARD AND REVERSE DRIVE PEDALS 

RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN NOT DEPRESSED.

STOPPING (See Fig. 5)
MOWER BLADES -
• 

To stop mower blades, place attachment clutch control 

in the “DIS EN GAGED” position (

).

ENGINE - 
•  Move throttle control (D) between half and full speed 

(fast) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and full 

speed (fast) position, before stop ping may cause engine 

to “backfire”.
• 

Turn ignition key (F) to “STOP” position and remove key. 

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent 

un author ized use.

•  Never use the cold weather starting position to stop 

the engine.

IMPORTANT:  LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY 

POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY 

TO BE DIS CHARGED, (DEAD).
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing 

idle with the engine running, hot en gine exhaust gases may 

cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-

 ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

 plete ly, as described above, and set 

parking brake before leav ing the op er a-

 tor's position.

OPERATION

The operation of any tractor can  result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can 

result in severe eye dam age.  Always wear safety glass es or eye shields while operating 

your tractor or per form ing any ad just ments or repairs.  We rec om mend standard safety 

glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
