OPERATION
nOTE: This Operator's Manual covers several models. Tractor features may vary by model.
Not all features in this manual are applicable to all tractor models and the tractor depicted
may differ from yours.
nOTE: All references in this manual to the left or right side and front or back of the tractor
are from the operating position only. Exceptions, if any, will be specified.
1) Lapbar Drive Control Levers
The RH (Right Hand) and LH (Left Hand) lapbar drive control levers are located on each
side of the operator's seat. The hinged levers pivot outward to permit the operator to sit in
the seat, or dismount. To start the tractor's engine, the lapbar drive control levers must be
fully out and in park position. When the lapbar drive control levers are fully outward, the
parking brake is engaged.
Each drive control lever controls the respective transmission. Consequently, these levers
control all of the tractor's movement. Driving and steering using these control levers
is quite different from a conventional tractor and will take practice to master. Refer to
Practice Operation section for further instructions.
2) Deck Height Index
Each rotation represents a 1⁄4" (6.35 mm) change in deck height. Positions range from 1"
(2.5 cm) to 4-3/4" (12 cm) at the highest point. See 4a and 4b in Figure 23.
3) Deck Transport Lock Control
The deck transport lock control is used to lock the deck above its highest cut setting into
transport mode. To engage the deck transport lock control depress the deck lift pedal (4a)
and move the deck transport lock control into its rear position. To disengage the transport
lock and set the deck to its designated cut height, depress the deck lift pedal and move
the deck transport lock control into its front position.
4a) Deck Lift Pedal
The deck lift pedal is located on the front, right corner of the platform. The pedal is used
in conjunction with the deck lift knob to raise and lower the mowing deck. Push forward
on the deck lift pedal, rotate the deck lift knob to the desired height and release the deck
lift pedal.
4b) Deck Lift Knob
The deck lift knob is used in conjunction with the deck lift pedal to raise and lower the
mowing deck. Push forward on the deck lift pedal, rotate the deck lift knob to the desired
height and release the deck lift pedal.
