Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located on the right side of the
tractor, along the running board. Depress the
drive pedal forward and the tractor will move in
the direction that the shift lever is engaged in.
To cause the tractor to travel forward, while at
a complete stop, move the shift lever into the
Forward position. Gradually step on the drive
pedal and the tractor will begin to move forward.
To move in Reverse, follow the same procedure
only move the shift lever into the reverse position.
The ground speed is controlled with the drive
pedal. The further forward that the pedal is
pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return
to its original position when it’s not depressed. Refer to the
Operation section of this manual for detailed instructions
regarding the drive pedal.
IMPORTANT: Always set the parking brake when leaving the
tractor unattended.

lever is used to change the height of the cutting
deck. To use, move the lever to the left, then place in

engage) lever is used to engage power to the cutting
