•

Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades 
when worn. Refer to Cutting Blades on page 23 of this 
manual for proper blade sharpening instructions.

To turn the tractor’s headlights on:

•

Start the engine following the instructions earlier in 
this section.

•

Turn the key one notch counterclockwise into the 
On/Lights position of the ignition switch. Refer to 
Figure 6.

To turn the tractor’s headlights off: 

•

Turn the key either into the On position (to leave the 
engine running) or the Off position (to shut the 
engine off). Refer to Figure 6.

Never attempt to make any

adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in the operator’s
manual.

Disconnect the spark plug

wire(s) and ground against the engine before
performing any adjustments, repairs or
maintenance.

Never attempt to adjust the

brakes while the engine is running. Always
disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral
position, stop engine and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.

If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when 
the brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the 
tractor’s rear wheels can roll with the parking brake 
applied, the brake is in need of adjustment. The brake 
disc can be found on the right side of the transmission 
in the rear of the tractor. Adjust if necessary as follows:

•

Looking at the transmission from the right side of 
the tractor, locate the compression spring and 
brake disc.

•

Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex nut found on 
the right side of the brake assembly.

•

Using a feeler gauge, set the gap between the 
brake disc and the brake puck at .011". 

•

Re-tighten the hex nut loosened earlier.

Before operating this machine,

make sure the seat is engaged in the seat
stop, stand behind the machine and pull back
on seat until fully engaged into stop.

To adjust the position of the seat, move the seat 
adjustment lever to the left and slide the seat forward or 
rearward. Make sure seat is locked into position before 
operating the tractor.

If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other, 
or if the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or 
wear, the steering drag links may need to be adjusted.

Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths are threaded 
into the ball joint on the left side and the ball joint on the 
right side:

•

Loosen the jam nut found on the drag link at the 
rear of the ball joint. See Figure 10.

•

Remove the hex nut and lock washer on the top of 
ball joint. See Figure 10.

•

Thread the ball joint toward the jam nut to shorten 
the drag link. Thread the ball joint away from the 
jam nut to lengthen the drag link.
