Stopping the Engine
WARNING
If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire(s)
and ground against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage.
Repair the damage before restarting and operating
1.
If the blades are engaged, place the PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the
disengaged (OFF) position.
2.
Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the STOP position.
3.
Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent unintended starting.
Driving The Tractor
WARNING
Avoid sudden starts, excessive speed and sudden stops.
WARNING
Do not leave the seat of the tractor without first placing the PTO (Blade Engage)
lever in the disengaged (OFF) position, depressing the brake pedal and engaging
the parking brake. If leaving the tractor unattended, also turn the ignition key off
and remove the key.
WARNING
Always look down and behind before and while backing up to avoid a back-over
accident.
1.
Move the throttle lever into the FAST (rabbit) position.
NOTE: Always operate the tractor with the throttle/choke control lever in the
FAST (rabbit) position for the most efficient use of the cutting deck or other
(separately available) attachments.
2.
Release the parking brake by depressing the parking brake pedal
3.
Slowly move the speed control lever in desired "F" forward or "R" reverse
position. The further forward or rearward that the lever is moved, the faster
the tractor will travel.
WARNING
Do NOT attempt to change the direction of travel when the tractor is in motion.
Always bring the tractor to a complete stop before moving the speed control
lever from forward to reverse or vice versa. Failure to do so could result in serious
damage to your tractor's transmission.
IMPORTANT: First-time operators should use slower speeds. Become
completely familiar with the tractor's operation and controls before operating the
tractor at a higher speed.
4.
To stop, move the speed control lever to the "N" neutral position.
IMPORTANT: In a sudden situation, fully depress the brake pedal to bring
the tractor to a stop and then immediately move the speed control lever to the "N"
neutral position.
OPERATION
5.
Set the parking brake by fully depressing the parking brake pedal and
keeping it depressed while placing the parking brake lever in the ON
position. Release the parking brake pedal to allow the parking brake to
engage.
Before leaving the operator's position for any reason, disengage the blades, place
the speed control lever in neutral, engage the parking brake, shut engine off and
remove the key.
IMPORTANT: When stopping the tractor for any reason while on a grass
surface, always:
1.
Place the speed control lever in N (neutral),
2.
Engage the parking brake,
3.
Shut engine off and remove the key.
Doing so will minimize the possibility of having your lawn "browned" by hot
exhaust from your tractor's running engine.
Driving On Slopes
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE in the Important Safe Operation Practices section of the
manual to help determine slopes where you may operate the tractor safely.
Do not mow on inclines with a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a rise of
approximately 2-1/2 feet every 10 feet). The tractor could overturn and cause
serious injury.
•
Mow up and down slopes, NEVER across.
•
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Avoid turns when driving on a slope. If a turn must be made, turn down the
slope. Turning up a slope greatly increases the chance of a roll over.
•
Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is necessary to stop while
driving up a slope, start up smoothly and carefully to reduce the possibility
of flipping the tractor over backward.
Engaging the Blades
Engaging the PTO (Blade Engage) transfers power to the cutting deck or other
(separately available) attachments. To engage the blades, proceed as follows:
1.
Move the throttle/choke control lever to the FAST (rabbit) position.
2.
Grasp the PTO (Blade Engage) lever and pivot it all the way forward into the
engaged (ON) position.
3.
Keep the throttle lever in the FAST (rabbit) position for the most efficient use
of the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments.
IMPORTANT: In the Reverse Caution Mode the engine will automatically shut
off if the PTO is engaged with the speed control lever in position for reverse travel
with the ignition key in the NORMAL MOWING position.
Using the Deck Lift Lever
To raise the cutting deck, move the deck lift lever to the left, then place it in the
notch best suited for your application. Refer to Setting The Cutting Height earlier in
this section.
