OPERATION
ATTACHMENTS
This unit can use many
different
attachments.
See the attachment
page
in this
book.
This
unit
can
pull
attachments
like
a lawn
sweeper,
a lawn aerator,
a hopper
spreader,
or a small trailer.
This
unit can not use attachments
that engage
the ground
like a plow, a
disk harrow,
or a cultivator.
For all pull-behind
attachments
or trailers, the maximum gross
weight
is 200 pounds.
Gross weight
is the weight
of the attachment
or trailer
and any load that might be on or in it.
Do not operate
on a slope that is greater
than
10 degrees
when
using a pull-behind
attachment
or trailer.
We have included
a slope
guide in this book to help you determine
the slope on which you will
be operating
your unit. Never allow someone
to stand or ride on or
in an attachment
or trailer.
ELECTRICAL

has two primary
components,
an Operator
Presence

and a Select
ReverseT"
system.
Operator
Presence System (Seat)
The seat has an Operator
Presence
System
to shut off the engine
when the operator
leaves
the seat. This system
is not intended
for
regular

rotation
control
to the DISENGAGE
position,
shift to neutral,
set the parking
brake
and stop the engine.
Select Reverse'" System
The Select
