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. 5 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 (4b). 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. 6 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. 7 Ignition Switch Turn-Key Start 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.
