Systems Indicator Monitor / Hour Meter
Your tractor is equipped with four indicator lights and an
hour meter located on the left side of the dash panel.
See Figure 2.
Figure 2
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
(OFF) 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
Briggs & Stratton Operator/Owner 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 Battery on
page 20 of this manual for the proper
battery charging procedure or have the
engine’s charging system checked by an
authorized service dealer.
The hour meter operates whenever the engine is
running and records the actual hours of tractor
operation.
Deck Lift Lever
Found on your tractor’s right fender, the deck lift lever is
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.
PTO (Power Take-off) Lever
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 to the
attachments.
NOTE:
The PTO lever must be in the disengaged
(OFF) position when starting the engine, when traveling
in reverse and if the operator leaves the seat.
Parking Brake Button
To set the parking brake, fully
depress the brake pedal and
push the parking brake button in.
Hold the button in while taking
your foot off the brake pedal.
Both the parking button and the
brake pedal will then stay
depressed. To release the
parking brake, depress the brake
pedal slightly. The parking brake
button will then return to its original position.
NOTE:
The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine
will automatically shut off.
IMPORTANT:
Always set the parking brake when
leaving the tractor unattended.
Cruise Control Button
The cruise control button is
located on the tractor dash panel
to the left of the ignition switch.
Push the cruise control button
while traveling forward at a
desired speed. While holding the
button in, release pressure from
the drive pedal. This will engage
the cruise control and allow the
tractor to remain at that speed
without applying pressure to the drive pedal.
Depress the brake pedal or the drive pedal to
deactivate cruise control. Refer to Setting the Cruise
Control on page 14 this manual for detailed instructions
