Driving The Tractor - Simplicity Regent Serie Manual Del Operador

OPERATION
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
nausea, fainting or death.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if
doors or windows are open.
1. Place the throttle control midway between the slow
and fast positions. Place the choke control into the on
position.
2. Start the engine by activating the key switch. Release
the switch as soon as the engine starts.
NOTE: Do not crank the engine continuously for more
than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start,
allow a 60 second cool down period between starting
attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out
the starter motor.
NOTE: If the engine develops sufficient speed to
disengage the starter but does not keep running (a false
start), engine rotation must be allowed to come to a
complete stop before attempting to restart the engine.
If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is rotating, the
starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash, resulting
in damage to the starter.
If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut off starter
immediately. Do not make further attempts to start the
engine until the condition is corrected. Do not jump start
using another battery (refer to Battery). See your Engine
Service Dealer for service assistance.
3. For a Cold Engine – Gradually return the choke
control to the off position after the engine starts and
warms up.
The engine/equipment may be operated during the
warm-up period, but it may be necessary to leave the
choke partially on until the engine warms up.
4. For a Warm Engine – Return choke to off position as
soon as engine starts.

6. Depress the forward ground speed control pedal to
travel forward. Release the pedal to stop. Note that the
further down the pedal is depressed the faster the trac-
tor will travel.
7. Stop the tractor by releasing the ground speed control
pedals, setting the parking brake, and stopping the en-
gine (see Stopping the Tractor and Engine).
Mowing
1. Set the mower cutting height to the desired level using
the mower lift lever.
2. Engage the parking brake. Make sure the PTO switch is
disengaged.
3. Start the engine (see Starting the Engine).
4. Set the throttle to FULL.
5. Engage the PTO to activate the mower blades.
6. Begin mowing.
7. When finished, shut off the PTO and raise the deck
using the mower lift lever.
8. Stop the engine (see Stopping the Tractor and
Engine).
WARNING
The engine will shut off if the reverse ground speed
pedal is depressed while the PTO is on and the
RMO has not been activated. The operator should
always turn the PTO off prior to driving across
on roads, paths or any area that maybe used by
other vehicles. Sudden loss of drive could create a
hazard.
WARNING
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Never activate
RMO if children are present. Children are often
attracted to the unit and the mowing activity.
Mowing in Reverse (RMO)
If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO system
can be used. To use the Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D.
light will illuminate, and the operator can then mow in re-
verse. Each time the PTO is engaged the RMO needs to
be reactivated if desired. The key should be removed to
restrict access to the RMO feature.
