Forward Drive Pedal The forward drive pedal is located on the right side of the machine, along the running board. Press the forward drive pedal forward to cause the tractor to travel forward. Ground speed is also controlled with the forward drive pedal. The further forward the pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original/ neutral position when it's not pressed. Reverse Drive Pedal The reverse drive pedal is located on the right side of the tractor along the running board.

The brake pedal can be used for sudden stops or setting the parking brake. NOTE: The brake pedal must be fully depressed to activate the safety interlock switch when starting the rider.

Deck Height Index The deck height index consists of several holes located on the front of the RH console.

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. 13
