Exceptions, if any, will be specified. 1 Lapbar Drive Control Levers The RH (Right Hand) and LH (Left Hand) lapbar drive control levers are located on each side of the operator's seat. The hinged levers pivot outward to permit the operator to sit in the seat or dismount. To start the tractor's engine, the lapbar drive control levers must be fully out and in park position. When the lapbar drive control levers are fully outward, the parking brake is engaged. Each drive control lever controls the respective transmission. Consequently, these levers control all of the tractor's movements. If equipped with a deck lift pedal and knob: Each rotation represents a 1⁄4" (6.35 mm) change in deck height. Positions range from 1" (2.5 cm) to 4-1/2" (11.4 cm) at the highest point. See 4a and 4b in Figure 17. 3 Deck Lift Handle (If Equipped) The deck lift handle is used to raise and lower the mower deck. To lower the deck, pull the deck lift handle to the right out of the index notch and push downward. To raise the deck, pull upward. Ensure handle is fully positioned into the height index notch when the desired height is attained. Driving and steering using these control levers is quite different from a conventional tractor and will take practice to master. Refer to Practice Operation section for further instructions. 13
