OPERATION 4a Deck Lift Pedal (If Equipped) 8 Cup Holder The deck lift pedal is located on the front, right corner of the platform.

Push forward on the deck lift pedal, rotate the deck lift knob to the desired height and release the deck lift pedal. 4b Deck Lift Knob (If Equipped) The deck lift knob is used in conjunction with the deck lift pedal (if equipped) to raise and lower the mowing deck. Push forward on the deck lift pedal, rotate the deck lift knob to the desired height and release the deck lift pedal. 5 Power Take-Off (PTO) ELECTRIC PTO (IF EQUIPPED) 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 "OFF" position when starting the engine. 6 Ignition Switch The cup holder is located on the top of the console. 9 Storage Tray The storage tray is located to the rear of the console. 10 Fuel Tank Cap Turn the fill cap at least two clicks counter-clockwise and pull upward 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 1/2" (12.7 mm) below 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 at least two clicks clockwise 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 at least five minutes before refueling. Highly flammable gasoline could splash onto the engine and cause a fire. 11 Hour Meter & LCD Service Minder (If Equipped) WARNING Never leave a running machine unattended. Always disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting. The ignition switch has three positions: STOP - The engine and electrical system is turned off. RUN - The tractor electrical system is energized. START - The starter motor will turn over the engine. Release the key immediately when the engine starts. NOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge, remove key from the ignition switch when tractor is not in use. 7 Transmission Bypass Rods The transmission bypass rods (one for each RH and LH transmission) are located on the rear of the tractor, next to the engine. 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 section for additional instructions. CAUTION The LCD service minder will remind the operator of maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine and low battery warnings. When the key is rotated out of the STOP position but is not in the START position, the LCD service minder & hour meter will briefly display the battery voltage, followed by the tractor's accumulated hours. NOTE: When the ignition key is out of the STOP position the hourglass symbol is illuminated/blinks to indicate it is recording the hours of tractor operation, regardless of whether the engine has been started. CHANGE OIL The LCD screen will alternate the letters "CHG", followed by "OIL", followed by "SOON", followed by the meter's accumulated time. "CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME" will alternate on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. This oil service minder interval will occur every 50 hours. Before the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual. LOW OIL NOTE: The low oil pressure function only works if the engine is equipped with an oil pressure switch. Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions. 14
