BRAKE OPERATION
If tractor requires more than fi ve (5) feet to 
stop at highest speed in high est gear on a 
level, dry concrete or paved surface, then 
brake must be serviced. (See “TO CHECK 
BRAKE” in the Ser vice and Ad just ments 
section of this manual).
TIRES
•   Maintain proper air pressure in all tires 

(See PSI on tires).

•   Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect 

control chemi cals which can harm rubber.

•   Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp 

objects and other hazards that may 
cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and pre vent 
fl at tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant 
may be purchased from your local parts 
dealer. Tire sealant also pre vents tire dry 
rot and corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYS TEM AND 
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
Be sure operator presence and reverse 
operation sys tems are work ing properly.  If 
your tractor does not function as de-
scribed, repair the problem immediately.
•   The engine should not start unless the 

brake pedal is fully de pressed, and the 
attachment clutch con trol is in the dis en -
gaged position.

CHECK OPERATOR PRESENCE

at tach ment clutch is engaged, any at-
tempt by the operator to leave the seat

erate unless the operator is in the seat.

CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS) 
SYSTEM
•   When the engine is running with the 

ignition switch in the engine "ON" posi-
tion and the at tach ment clutch engaged, 
any attempt by the operator to drive in 
reverse should shut off the engine.

•   When the engine is running with the 

ignition switch in the ROS "ON" position 
and the at tach ment clutch engaged, 
any attempt by the operator to drive in 
reverse should NOT shut off the engine.

sharp.  Re place worn, bent or damaged

by the manufacturer of your tractor is 
hazardous, could damage your tractor and
