TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
(See Fig. 8)
The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the
gearshift lever (J).
J
1. Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal depressed and
gearshift lever in neutral position.
2. Move gearshift lever to desired po si tion.
3. Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to start movement.
IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete stop before shifting
or changing gears. Failure to do so will shorten the useful
life of your transaxle.
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 9)
The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the
cutting height.
A
• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.
The cutting height range is ap prox i mate ly 1 to 4" (25,4 to
101,6 mm). The heights are measured from the ground to
the blade tip with the engine not running. These heights are
approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions,
height of grass and types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to approximately
2-1/2" (63,5 mm) during the cool season and to over 3"
(76,2 mm) during hot months. For healthier and better
looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (152,4 mm)
in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to de sired height.
OPERATION

Fig. 9
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
(See Fig. 10)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off
the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON"
position.
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the
attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary.
USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM -
Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders
will enter the mowing area.
•
Depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and hold.
•
With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise
to ROS "ON" position.
•
Look down and behind before backing.
•
Move gear shift lever to reverse (R) po si tion and slowly
release clutch/brake pedal to start movement.
•
When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the
ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.
ROS "ON"
POSITION
TO OPERATE MOWER
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing
switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with
the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will
shut off the engine. You must remain fully and centrally
positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitat-
ing or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,
rolling terrain or hills.
•
Select desired height of cut. (See "TO ADJUST MOWER
CUTTING HEIGHT".)
•
Start mower blades by engaging at tach ment clutch
control.
