PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen-
gages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the
PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage.
Note that the operator must be seated firmly in the trac-
tor seat for the PTO to function.
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.
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.
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.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed.
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 up on the knob engages the parking
brake. Refer to page 10 for a full explanation of parking
brake functions.
Mower Height of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between 1” and
3-5/8.”
Electric Height of Cut Models: 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). When the adjustment indicator has
reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding
the switch down will damage the motor.

Cruise Control (Select Models)
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.

lever, position the seat as desired, and release the lever
to lock the seat into position.

transmission so that the tractor can be pushed by hand.
See PUSHING THE TRACTOR BY HAND for opera-
tional information.
Transmission Oil Expansion Chamber
(K71 Models Only)

expansion chamber. It also serves as extra holding
capacity for oil as the transmission heats up and the oil
expands. See TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE for oil
level check and fill procedures.
Fuel Tank
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise. On models
with a dashboard display, the fuel gauge is part of the
dashboard. Models without a dashboard display have a
fuel gauge located under the seat.

The power outlet is 12V-DC. Accessory must be rated at
14 amps or less.

locking both rear wheels into “drive”.
Use this feature if the tractor is stuck because one wheel
is slipping. Engage the differential lock at slow
ground speeds only.

pivot mechanism and pivot the wheel to the desired posi-
tion. Release the tilt knob to lock in position.
