PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and
disengages 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 tractor 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
position 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
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.
