Parking Brake Pedal & Lever
The parking parking brake pedal is located on the left side running
board of the lawn tractor. It is used to both set the parking brake
and to stop the lawn tractor in sudden situations.
The parking brake lever is located on the left side of the tractor's
dash panel. To set the parking brake, fully depress the parking
parking brake pedal. Move the parking brake lever all the way
down and into the parking brake position and then release the
parking brake pedal to allow the parking brake to engage.
To release the parking brake, depress the parking brake pedal and
the parking brake lever will automatically move out of the parking
brake position.
In an sudden situation, fully depress the parking brake pedal to
bring the tractor to a stop and then immediately move the speed
control lever to the "N" neutral position
IMPORTANT: Do not use the parking parking brake pedal to
control the ground speed of the lawn tractor. Doing so will result in
premature wear of drive belt. Always use the Speed Control Lever
to control the ground speed of the lawn tractor and to stop the tractor under normal
circumstances.
Note: The parking parking brake pedal must be depressed to start the engine.
The parking brake must also be set if the operator leaves the seat with the engine
running or the engine will automatically shut off. Refer to Safety Interlock Switches
later in this section.
Oil
IMPORTANT: Your tractor is shipped with motor oil in the engine. However,
you MUST check the oil level before operating. Be careful not to overfill.
For instructions on how to check the engine oil, refer to Checking The Engine Oil in
the Service and Maintenance section of this manual.
Gasoline
The gasoline tank is located under the hood. Do not overfill.
WARNING
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the
engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
NOTE : Purchase gasoline in small quantities. Do not use gasoline left over from the
previous season, to minimize gum deposits in the fuel system.
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. For best results, fill
the fuel tank with only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker
octane rating of 87 or higher.
•
Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume) is an
approved fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends, such as E85, are not approved.
•
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline blends (up to a
maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are approved fuels. Other gasoline/ether
blends are not approved.
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
OPERATION
•
Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1/2 inch below bottom of
filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
RUN
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow
engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
PARK
•
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to
BRAKE
another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
OFF
1.
Turn the engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing
the fuel cap. The gasoline tank is under the hood, with the fuel fill cap
located on the left hand side of the tank.
2.
Fill the fuel tank with gasoline.
3.
Reinstall the fuel cap.
Note: STOP filling tank once fuel is seen inside the filler neck. This ensures that a
proper expansion volume is created, otherwise the fuel can overflow creating a
hazardous situation. Do NOT fill to the top of the filler neck. See Figure 8.
