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.
Depress the brake pedal to release the parking
brake and
let the pedal up.
Move the throttle
lever into the FAST (rabbit)
position.
Place the shift lever in either the FORWARD or REVERSE
position.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT use the shift lever to change the
direction of travel when the tractor is in motion. Always use
the brake pedal to bring the tractor to a complete stop before
shifting.
4.
Releasethe parking brake by depressing the clutch-brake
pedal and positioning the speed control lever in desired
position.
IMPORTANT:
First-time operators should use speed positions 1
or 2. Become completely familiar with the tractor's operation and
controls before operating the tractor in higher speed positions.
5.
Release clutch-brake pedal slowly to put unit into motion.
6.
The lawn tractor is brought to a stop by depressing the
clutch-brake pedal.
NOTE:When operating the unit initially, there will be little
difference between the highest two speeds until after the belts
have seated themselves into the pulleys during the break-in
period.
WARNING!
Before leaving the operator's position
for any reason, disengage the blades, place the shift
lever in neutral, engage the parking brake, shut
engine offand remove the key.
IMPORTANT:
When stopping
the tractor for any reason while
on a grass surface, always:
1.
Place the shift lever in 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.
If unit stalls with speed control in high speed, or if unit will
not operate with speed control lever in a low speed position,
proceed as follows:
1.
Place shift lever in NEUTRAL.
2.
Restart engine.
3.
Place speed control lever in highest speed position.
4.
Release clutch-brake pedal fully.
5.
Depress clutch-brake pedal.
6.
Place speed control
lever in desired position.
7.
Place shift lever in either FORWARD or REVERSE,and follow
normal
operating
procedures.
Driving OnSlopes
Refer to the SLOPEGAUGEin the Important Safe Operation
Practices section of the manual to help determine slopes where
you may operate the tractor safely.
WARNING!
Do not mow on inclines with a slope in
excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approximately2-1/2 feet
every 10feet).The tractor could overturn and cause
serious injury.
Mow up and down slopes, NEVERacross.
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. Ira 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.
Engagingthe 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
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.
Models with ReverseCaution Mode:
The engine will automatically shut off if the PTOis engaged with
the shift lever in position for reverse travel with the ignition key
in the NORMAL MOWING position.
Models without ReverseCaution Mode:
The PTO(Blade Engage) lever must be in the disengaged (OFF)
position when starting the engine, when traveling in reverse, and
if the operator leaves the seat. Refer to Safety Interlock Switches
in the Operation section of this manual.
Usingthe DeckLift 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.
