C. RH and LH Drive Control
Levers
The RH and LH control
levers are located on each side of
the operator's
seat. These hinged levers pivot outward
to open space to permit the operator to either sit in the
tractor seat, or to dismount
the tractor. The levers must be
fully opened out and in the neutral position
to start the
tractor engine.
Each lever controls the respective
RH or LH transmission.
Consequently,
these levers control all of the movements
of the tractor. Driving and steering
utilizing these control
levers is quite different
from conventional
tractors, and
will take some practice to master. Refer to Operation
for
instructions
on using the control
levers.
D. Ignition
Switch
The ignition
switch is located on the RH console to the
right of the operator's
seat. The ignition
switch has three
positions
as follows:

system is turned off.
ON - 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 the key from the ignition switch when the
tractor is not in use.
E. Power Take-Off

knob upward to engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob
downward
to disengage the clutch.

position
when starting the engine.
F. Transmission
Bypass Rods (Not Visible)
The transmission
bypass rods (one for each the RH and LH
transmission)
are located beneath the frame platform,
just
inside each rear wheel.
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 Maintenance
&
Adjustments
for instructions
on using the bypass feature.
_
AUTION: Never tow your tractor. Towing
the tractor with the rear wheels on the
ground
may cause severe damage to the
transmissions.

1/4 turn 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.
