Features and Controls

See Figure 2 for location.
Throttle/Choke Control
(Choke-A-Matic)
The throttle/choke controls the engine speed and choke
(see Figure 2). 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.
Headlights
The light switch turns the tractor headlights on and off.
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 or operate another attachment 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 disengaged the RMO needs
to be reactivated if desired.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen-
gages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO,
pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note that
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 posi-
tions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
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.

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.

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.
