OPERATION 3. Electronic Governor Control (If equipped) - When set in a given position, a uniform engine speed will be maintained. The electronic governor control has various inputs for maintaining engine speed. Use CUT setting for optimal cutting performance in normal cutting conditions. Use POWER CUT setting for optimal cutting performance in heavy cutting conditions. NOTE: If the tractor is equipped with an Electronic Governor Control, the tractor can be started at any speed setting along the dial and will automatically adjust to the desired engine speed setting. NOTE: It may take a few seconds after starting for the engine to adjust to the proper engine speed. This is normal. E. CHOKE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED) The choke control determines the position of the engine choke. Pull the knob out to choke the engine; push the knob in to open the choke. If equipped, Choke Control will be paired with a Throttle Control (D2). When pulled outward the Choke Control closes the choke for cold starting. Once started always run the engine with the Choke Control pushed all the way inward. F. DECK LIFT LEVER The deck lift lever is used to raise and lower the deck. Pull the lever to the left out of the index notch and push downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise the deck. When the desired height is attained, move the lift lever to the right until fully engaged in the index notch. G. IGNITION SWITCH TURN-KEY START (IF EQUIPPED) WARNING Never leave a running tractor unattended. Always disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting. Refer to Starting the Engine for information on how to start the engine. Refer to Stopping the Engine for instructions on how to stop the engine. WARNING Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both Safety Interlock System 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. PBS (PUSH BUTTON START)/SERVICE MINDER & HOUR METER (IF EQUIPPED) WARNING Never leave a running tractor unattended. Always disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove the key. NOTE: If the REVERSE CAUTION MODE button is depressed during starting, the starting sequence is aborted and needs to be restarted. To stop the engine, press or remove the ignition key. When the ignition key is inserted and pressed for less than 0.5 seconds, the LCD Service Minder & Hour Meter will briefly display the battery voltage, followed by the tractor's accumulated hours. NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded only when the engine is running. The LCD Service Minder will remind the operator of maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine oil and low or high battery warnings. H. POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO)(BLADE ENGAGE) SWITCH (ELECTRIC PTO) (IF EQUIPPED) The PTO (Blade Engage) switch operates the electric PTO clutch mounted on the bottom of the engine crankshaft. Pull the switch knob outward to engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob inward to disengage the clutch. The PTO (Blade Engage) switch must be in the OFF position when starting the engine. See Engaging the PTO (Blade Engage) (Electric PTO tractors) section for information and instructions on using the PTO. 16
