Deck Height Index The deck height index consists of several holes located on the front of the RH console. Each hole corresponds to a 1⁄4" change in the deck height position ranging from 1" at the lowest notch to 4" at the highest notch. The highest notch is also the transport position and the lowest position is the deck removal/installation position . NOTE: Do not cut grass in the deck removal/installation position . Doing so is detrimental to the belt life. Deck Lift Handle 4" 3.5 3 2.5 2 1.5 1" The deck lift handle is located on the front of the RH console, and is used to raise and lower the mower deck. Depress the button on the end of the handle and push downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise the deck. When the desired height is attained, secure the pin in the desired index hole and release the button on the handle. NOTE: Make certain the deck is secured and the pin is fully inserted into the deck height index. The pin is keyed to help keep it in place and fits into the slotted holes on the deck height index. NOTE: The deck lift handle must always be above the pin, never hang the deck lift handle from the pin when mowing. Brake Pedal The brake pedal is located on the left front side of the running board.

Ignition Switch Module WARNING! Never leave a running machine unattended. Always disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting. To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn clockwise to the START position. Release the key into the NORMAL MOWING MODE position once the engine has fired. To stop the engine, turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the STOP position. CAUTION: Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both Safety Interlock Switches and Starting The Engine in the Operation section of this manual for detailed instructions regarding the Ignition Switch Module and operating the tractor in REVERSE CAUTION MODE . Power Take-Off (PTO) Switch The PTO switch is located on the RH console to the left of the hour meter/indicator panel. The PTO switch operates the electric PTO clutch mounted on the bottom of the engine crankshaft. Pull the switch knob upward to engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob downward to disengage the clutch. The PTO switch must be in the "disengaged" position when starting the engine. Transmission Bypass Rods The transmission bypass rods (one for each the RH and LH transmission) are located on the rear of the tractor, just inside each rear wheel. When engaged, the two rods open a bypass within the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions on using the bypass feature. CAUTION: Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions. Cup Holder The cup holder is located to the left of the operator's seat on the LH console. Seat Adjustment Lever The seat adjustment lever is located below the front/right of the seat. The lever allows for adjustment forward or backward of the operator's seat. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions on adjusting the seat position. Fuel Tank Caps The fuel tank caps are located near the middle of the RH and LH console. Turn the fill cap to remove. The fuel cap is tethered to the tractor to prevent its loss. Do not attempt to remove the cap from the tractor. Fill tank to the bottom of the filler neck, allowing some space in the tank for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the tank. Push the cap downward on the fuel tank fill neck and turn clockwise until it clicks to tighten. Always re-install the fuel cap tightly onto the fuel tank after removing. WARNING! Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is running. If the engine is hot from recently running, allow to cool for several minutes before refueling. Highly flammable gasoline could splash onto the engine and cause a fire.
