Fuel Level Gauge
This gauge shows the level of fuel remaining.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 10) records the amount of time
the engine has run. Use it to schedule regular
maintenance.
Driving
Forward or Backward
1. Stop the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to shift gears
with the tractor in motion. Internal
transmission damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Do not force the shift lever.
Applying slight pressure to the traction
control pedal while shifting will help the gears
engage.
2. Shift into high “H” or low “L” forward speed
with the High–Low lever (Fig. 10). Use Low for
best mowing performance and smoothest
operation with all attachments. Use High for
transporting or where conditions permit higher
speed.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Excessive speed on slopes can r
esult in
rollover accidents or loss of control.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Rollover accidents or loss of control can
result in serious injury or death.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Never shift into neutral while moving.
• Never allow tractor to roll freely in neutral
on slopes.
• Read, understand, and follow all
instructions in the operator’s manual and
on the machine before starting.
3. Place the throttle control in the FAST position
for best performance. (The throttle control
regulates engine revolutions per minute).
4. Place your foot on the traction control pedal and
slowly press on the top of the pedal to move
forward, or on the bottom of the pedal to move
backward (Fig. 18). The farther you move the
pedal in either direction, the faster the machine
will move in that direction.
5. To slow down, release the pressure on the
traction control pedal and step on the brake
pedal.
