OPERATION
DRIVING THE LAWN TRACTOR
Once your lawn tractor is started, you will need to know how to set
and release the parking brake, steer correctly, change the direction
of travel, adjust ground speed, begin mowing (including raising and
lowering the mower deck and adjusting the cutting height and mower
wheels), and you will need to know how to stop your lawn tractor.
Setting and Releasing the Parking Brake
Setting the Parking Brake
1. Push and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Pull up on the parking brake lever.
3. Remove foot from brake pedal. The
parking brake lever should remain up and
the brake pedal should remain down.
Releasing the Parking Brake
1. Push and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Push the parking brake lever down.
3. Release the brake pedal.
Steering
To make it easier to cut various lawns, your lawn tractor is very
maneuverable and can turn quickly.
Turning sharply at high ground speeds
can cause the lawn tractor to lose
traction.
The lawn tractor can tip over, and you
can be injured or killed.
Avoid sharp turns when traveling at
high ground speeds.
