SYSTEMS INDICATOR MONITOR / HOUR
METER
Your tractor is equipped with either an hour meter or an
ammeter as part of two available system indicator
monitors. Locate the monitor on the left side of your
dash panel and compare it to both shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7
If the Brake light or PTO light illuminates when
attempting to start the unit, proceed as follows:
Brake — Engage the parking brake.
PTO — Move the PTO lever into the disengaged
(Blade Stop) position.
It is normal for the Oil light and the Battery light to
illuminate while the engine is cranking, but if either
illuminates while the engine is running, proceed as
follows:
Oil— Stop the tractor immediately and check the
crankcase oil level as instructed in the
Engine Owner’s Manual included with
your unit. Add oil as required.
Battery— If this light illuminate’s while the engine is
running, it indicates that the battery is in
need of a charge OR that the engine’s
charging system is not generating
sufficient amperage. Refer to the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual
for the proper battery charging procedure
or have the engine’s charging system
checked by a authorized dealer.
On units so equipped, the ammeter measures the
electrical output of the engine’s charging system. Under
normal operating conditions, with the engine at full
throttle, the ammeter’s needle should measure a
positive charge.
The hour meter, on units so equipped, operates
whenever the engine is running and records the actual
hours of tractor operation.
ELECTRIC PTO (POWER
TAKE-OFF) KNOB
To engage the power to the
cutting deck or other (separately
available) attachments on models
so equipped with an electric PTO,
pull outward on the PTO knob.
Push the PTO knob inward to
disengage the power to the cutting deck.
NOTE: The PTO knob must be in the disengaged
(Blade Stop) position when starting the engine.
PTO (POWER TAKE-OFF) LEVER
On models equipped with a manual PTO, the PTO lever
is located on the left side of the dashboard next to the
steering wheel. Move the PTO lever forward to engage
the power to the cutting deck or other (separately
available) attachments; move the PTO lever rearward to
disengage the power.
NOTE: The PTO lever must be in the disengaged
(Blade Stop) position when starting the engine.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT LEVER
To adjust the seat forward or backward on units
equipped with a quick-adjust seat, slide the seat
adjustment lever to the left and reposition the seat to the
desired position. Once a comfortable position is found,
release the seat adjustment lever to lock the seat in
place. Refer to SEAT ADJUSTMENTS in the MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual for more
detailed instructions.

used to change the height of the cutting deck. To use,
move the lever to the left, then place in the notch best
suited for your application.
CUP HOLDER
The tractor’s cup holder is located on the fender to the
left of the seat, just to the rear of the parking brake lever.
