Note: This Operator's Manual covers several
models. Tractor features may vary by model. Not
all features in this manual are applicable to all
tractor models and the tractor depicted may differ
from yours.
Note: References to LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, and REAR
indicate that position on the tractor when facing
forward while seated in the operator's seat.
RH & LH Drive Control Levers (A)
The RH and LH drive control levers are located on
each side of the operator's seat. These hinged levers
pivot outward to open space to permit the operator
to either sit in the tractor seat, or to dismount
the tractor. The drive control levers must be fully
opened out and in the neutral position to start the
tractor engine. When the drive control levers are
fully outward, the parking brake is also engaged.
Each drive control lever controls the respective
transmission. Consequently, these levers control all of
the movements of the tractor. Driving and steering
utilizing these control levers is quite different from
conventional tractors, and will take some practice to
master. Refer to Operation for instructions on using
the control levers.
Drive Control Lever Adjustment Knobs (B)
The drive control lever knobs are located near
the base of RH and LH drive control levers. The
knobs allow the drive control levers to be adjusted
forward or rearward. Refer to Maintenance &
Adjustments section for instructions on using the
drive control levers knobs.
Cup Holder (C)
The cup holder is located to the left of the operator's
seat on the LH console.
Seat Adjustment Lever (D)
The seat adjustment lever is located below
the seat. The seat adjustment lever allows for
adjustment forward or backward of the operator's
seat. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for
instructions on adjusting the seat position.

Deck Height Index (F)
The deck height index consists
of several holes located on
the front of the RH console.
Each hole corresponds to a
1⁄ 4 " change in the deck height
position ranging from 1" at
the lowest notch to 4" at the
highest notch. The highest
notch is also the transport
position and the lowest position
is the deck removal/installation
position .
Note: Do not cut grass
in the deck removal/
installation position . Doing so is
detrimental to the belt life.
Deck Lift Handle (G)
The deck lift handle is located on the front of the
RH console, and is used to raise and lower the
tractor deck.
Depress the button on the end of the handle and push
downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise
the deck. When the desired height is attained, secure
the pin in the desired index hole and release the
button on the handle.
Note: Make certain the deck is secured and the pin
is fully inserted into the deck height index. The pin
is keyed to help keep it in place and fits into the
slotted holes on the deck height index.
Note: The deck lift handle must always be above
the pin, never hang the deck lift handle from the pin
when mowing.
Power Take-Off (PTO) Switch (H)
The PTO switch is located on
the RH console to the left of the
hour meter/indicator panel.
The PTO switch operates the
electric PTO clutch mounted
on the bottom of the engine
crankshaft. Pull the switch
knob upward to engage the
PTO clutch, or push the knob
downward to disengage the
clutch.
The PTO switch must be in the
"OFF" position when starting
the engine.
Transmission Bypass Rods (I)
The transmission bypass rods (one for each the RH
and LH transmission) are located on the rear of the
tractor, just inside each rear wheel.
When engaged, the two rods open a bypass within
the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the
tractor to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer
to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions
on using the bypass feature.
CAUTION
Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear
wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to the
transmissions.
