Driving On Slopes
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 8 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 Parking Brake
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator leaves the seat with the engine
running or the engine will automatically shut off.
To set the parking brake:
1.
Press the brake pedal completely down with your left foot and hold it in that
position.
2.
Press down on the parking brake/cruise control lever and hold it in that
position.
3.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal.
4.
Release pressure from the parking brake/cruise control lever.
5.
After completing step 3, the brake pedal should remain in the down position.
If it doesn't, the parking brake is not engaged. Repeat steps 1-4 to engage.
To disengage the parking brake, lightly press the brake pedal.
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always disengage the PTO,
set the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key to prevent
unintended starting.
Setting The Cruise Control
Never engage the cruise control lever while traveling in reverse.
To set the cruise control:
1.
Slowly press the forward drive pedal with your right foot until the desired
speed is achieved.
2.
Press down on the parking brake/cruise control lever and hold it in that
position.
3.
Remove your foot from the forward drive pedal.
4.
Release pressure from the parking brake/cruise control lever.
5.
After completing step 3, the forward drive pedal should remain in the down
position and the tractor will maintain the same forward speed. If it doesn't, the
cruise control is not engaged. Repeat steps 1-4 to engage the cruise control.

WARNING
WARNING
To disengage the cruise control, lightly press the forward drive pedal or the brake
pedal.
NOTE: Cruise control can not be set 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.
To change the direction of travel from forward to reverse when cruise control is
engaged, press the brake pedal to disengage and bring the tractor to a complete stop.
Then slowly press the reverse drive pedal with the ball of your foot to travel in reverse.
Using the Deck Lift Lever
To raise or lower the cutting deck, move the lift lever to the left, then place it in the
notch best suited for your application.
Operating the Headlights
The lamps are ON whenever the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP
The lamps turn OFF when the ignition key is moved to the STOP
Engaging the PTO (Electric PTO tractors)
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck or other (separately available)
attachments. To engage the PTO:
1.
Move the throttle to the FAST
2.
Pull the PTO switch up/out into the engaged (ON) position. See "Figure 13".
NOTE: When operating the tractor be certain that the throttle is always in
the FAST
position. Operating with the throttle at less than full throttle
may lead to premature battery wear and a poor quality cut.
3.
To disengage the PTO, push the PTO switch down/in to the disengaged (OFF)
position.
