Cruise Control Button
The cruise control lever is located in
the center of the tractor's dash panel.
Engaging the cruise control allows the
tractor to remain at a constant ground
speed without applying pressure to
the drive pedal. Refer to the Operation
section of this manual for detailed
instructions regarding the cruise control
feature.
NOTE: Cruise control can NOT be
engaged at the tractor's fastest ground speed. If the operator
should attempt to do so, the tractor will automatically decelerate
to the fastest optimal mowing ground speed.
Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located on the right side of
the tractor, along the running board. Depress
the upper portion of the drive pedal forward
to cause the tractor to travel forward. Depress
the lower portion of the drive pedal with the
ball of your right foot (NOT your heel) to cause
the tractor to travel in reverse. Ground speed is
also controlled with the drive pedal. The further
forward or rearward that the pedal is pivoted, the
faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return
to its original position when it's not depressed.
Refer to the Operation section of this manual for
detailed instructions regarding the drive pedal.
IMPORTANT:
Always set the parking brake when leaving the
tractor unattended.
