FOOT LIFT PEDAL
The foot lift pedal A, allows the operator to raise the
mower deck to the highest position without removing
his/her hands from the traction controls.
To use the foot lift pedal A, press on it to raise the
deck. The picture shows the foot lift pedal mounted
on the RH side of the machine. If you prefer to have
the foot mounted lift pedal on the left hand side,
simply loosen the existing hardware and mount the
foot lift pedal in a similar manner to the left hand side.
Tighten the hardware to secure the foot lift pedal.
CONTROLS
PARKING BRAKE (R) - Pull the parking brake
lever up and back to put the parking brake ON. Push
it forward and down to put the parking brake OFF.
The parking brake must be ON to start the engine. It
must also be ON and the traction levers must be in
neuetral to keep the engine running if the operator
leaves the seat. The parking brake must be OFF
to keep the engine running when a traction lever is
moved out of neutral lock.
PUSHING THE MACHINE
Hydrostat bypass valves (“dump valves”) on each
hydrostatic pump allow the machine to be pushed or
towed without the engine running. Parking Brake
must be off. Raise the seat to gain access to these
two valves V. Turn both valves counterclockwise 1
turn to release the hydrostatic system. Restore the
hydrostatic system by turning the valves clockwise
only until they re-seat. DO NOT overtighten.
Use caution if it is necessary to tow the machine.
With the bypass valves open, the dynamic braking
and steering provided by the hydrostats is disabled.
Towing should be done only if a disabled machine
cannot be repaired where it broke down.
