Headlights
The light switch turns the tractor headlights on and off.
Hour Meter
The hour meter measures the number of hours the key
has been in the RUN position.
Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing (or use of
other PTO driven attachments) while traveling in reverse.
If you choose to mow or operate another attachment in
reverse, turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The
L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the operator can then mow
in reverse. Each time the PTO is disengaged the RMO
needs to be reactivated if desired.
PTO switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen-
gages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO,
pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note
that the operator must be seated firmly in the tractor seat
for the PTO to function.
Ignition switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF
Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN
Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START
Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
Ground speed Pedals
The tractor's forward ground speed is controlled by the
forward ground speed control pedal. The tractor's reverse
ground speed is controlled by the reverse ground speed
control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed. Note
that the further down the pedal is depressed, the faster the
tractor will travel.
cruise control
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed control
in forward. The cruise control has five lock positions.
