Poulan 2001-01 Lawn Mower User Manual


 
12
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any
adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles or standard safety glasses.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE
Your tractor is equipped with an operator
presence sensing switch. When engine
is running, any attempt by the operator to
leave the seat without first setting the
parking brake will shut off the engine.
Depress clutch/brake pedal into full
BRAKE position and hold.
Place parking brake lever in EN-
GAGED position and release pres-
sure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal
should remain in BRAKE position.
Make sure parking brake will hold
tractor secure.

STOPPING
MOWER BLADES -
To stop mower blades,move attach-
ment clutch lever to DISENGAGED
position.
GROUND DRIVE -
To stop ground drive, depress clutch/
brake pedal into full BRAKE position.
Move gearshift lever to neutral (N)
position.
ENGINE -
Move throttle control to slow position.
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to
slow position and allowing engine to idle
before stopping may cause engine to
backfire.
Turn ignition key to OFF position and
remove key. Always remove key when
leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized
use.
Never use choke to stop engine.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition
switch in any position other than "OFF"
will cause the battery to be discharged,
(dead).
NOTE: Under certain conditions when
tractor is standing idle with the engine
running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause browning of grass. To eliminate
this possibility, always stop engine when
stopping tractor on grass areas.
CAUTION: Always stop tractor
completely, as described above, before
leaving the operator's position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL
Always operate engine at full throttle.
Operating engine at less than full
throttle reduces the battery charging
rate.
Full throttle offers the best bagging
and mower performance.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACK-
WARD
The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the gearshift lever.
Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal
depressed and gearshift lever in
neutral (N) position.
Move gearshift lever to desired
position.
Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to
start movement.
IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete
stop before shifting or changing gears.
Failure to do so will shorten the useful
life of your transaxle.
