HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 4)
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-
 ing  switch.  When engine is running, any attempt by the 
op er a tor to leave the seat without first setting the parking 
brake will shut off the engine.
•  Depress clutch/brake pedal (B) all the way down and 
hold.
• 
Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, re lease pres-
 sure from clutch/brake pedal (B), then release parking 
brake lever.  Pedal should re main in brake position.  
Ensure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D) (See Fig. 6)
Always operate engine at full speed (fast).
• 
Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces 
the engine's operating efficiency.
•  Full speed (fast) of fers the best mower per for mance.
STOPPING (See Fig. 5)
MOWER BLADES -
• 
To stop mower blades, place attachment clutch control 
in the “DIS EN GAGED” position (
).
GROUND DRIVE -
•  To stop ground drive, depress brake pedal into full 
“BRAKE” position.
IMPORTANT: FORWARD AND REVERSE DRIVE PEDALS 
RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN NOT DEPRESSED.
ENGINE - 
•  Move throttle control (D) between half and full speed 
(fast) position.
CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-
 plete ly, as described above, and set 
parking brake before leav ing the op er a-
 tor's position.
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and full 
speed (fast) position, before stop ping may cause engine 
to “backfire”.
• 
Turn ignition key (F) to “
STOP
” position and remove key. 
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent 
un author ized use.
•  Never use the choke to stop the engine.
IMPORTANT:  LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY 
POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY 
TO BE DIS CHARGED, (DEAD).
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing 
idle with the engine running, hot en gine exhaust gases may 
cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-
 ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.
OPERATION
The operation of any tractor can  result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can 
result in severe eye dam age.  Always wear safety glass es or eye shields while operating 
your tractor or per form ing any ad just ments or repairs.  We rec om mend standard safety 
glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
