Attachment Lift Control Lever
When using the mower deck, lift the deck off the ground
while transporting to and from the job site. DO NOT cut
with the mower in the raised, transport position.
The attachment lift control lever raises and lowers
attachments that utilize the tractor’s hydraulic lift cylinder.
This lever also controls attachments that use the tractor’s
auxiliary hydraulics via the quick couplers on the front left
and right sides of the frame.
When using a mower deck (Front / Rear Hydraulic selec-
tor switch must be in REAR position), pulling the lever
back raises the attachment lift. Pushing the lever for-
ward to the first detent lowers the attachment lift.
Pushing the lever forward to the second detent locks the
control in “float” position, allowing the lift mechanism to
float up and down. Float is the recommended position
when mowing.
For a complete explanation on this control, see
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FUNCTIONS.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height adjustment switch controls the mower
cutting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The
arrows on the switch correspond to the direction of
adjustment (UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow
rotates the spout right, etc). The mower cutting height is
infinitely adjustable between 1” to 4-13/32” (2,5 cm-11,2
cm). When the adjustment indicator has reached the
end of its travel, release the switch; holding the switch
down will damage the motor.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
three positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system. Activates the glow
plugs on diesel models
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN posi-
tion with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake.
Depressing the brake pedal will also return the cruise
control lever to neutral.
Features & Controls
Ground Speed Pedals
The tractor’s forward ground speed is controlled by the
forward ground speed control pedal. The tractor’s
reverse ground speed is controlled by the reverse
ground speed control pedal. Note that the further down
the pedal is depressed, the faster the tractor will travel.
Parking Brake
The parking brake knob is used to lock the parking brake
when the tractor is stopped. Fully depressing the brake
pedal and pulling the knob out engages the parking
brake. Refer to page 10 for a full explanation of parking
brake functions.
Steering Tilt Adjust (Select Models)
Use the tilt knob located on the bellows to release the
pivot mechanism and pivot the wheel to the desired posi-
tion. Release the tilt knob to lock in position.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever, position the seat as desired, and release the lever
to lock the seat into position.
Cruise Control
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed con-
trol in forward. Move the lever forward until the desired
ground speed is reached. To disengage the cruise con-
trol move the lever back. In the event you need to stop
quickly, depressing the brake pedal will also return the
cruise control to neutral.
2-Wheel / 4-Wheel Drive Selector
(Select Models)
The 2-wheel / 4-wheel drive selector disengages the
front wheels in the 2-wheel drive position and drives all
four wheels in 4-wheel drive position. Engage / disen-
gage the 4-wheel drive control only when stopped or at
slow speeds.
Transmission Release Valve Lever
The transmission release valve lever deactivates the
transmission so that the tractor can be pushed by hand.
See PUSHING THE TRACTOR BY HAND for opera-
tional information.
