WARNING
OPERATION
Deck Lift Lever
The deck lift lever is located on the lawn tractor's right fender. It is used to change
the height of the cutting deck. To use, move the lever to the left, then place in the
position best suited for your application.
PTO Lever
The PTO Lever is located on the lawn tractor's right fender. It is used to engage
power to the cutting deck or other optional attachments. To operate, move the
lever all the way forward. Moving the lever all the way rearward into the PTO OFF
position disengages power to the cutting deck or attachment.
NOTE: The PTO lever must be in the disengaged (PTO OFF) position when starting
the engine.
Safety Interlock Switches
This lawn tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system for the protection of
the operator. If the interlock system malfunctions, do not operate the lawn tractor.
Contact an authorized service dealer.
• The safety interlock system prevents the engine from cranking or starting
unless the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO lever is in the disengaged
(PTO OFF) position.
• The engine will automatically shut OFF if the operator leaves the seat before
engaging the parking brake.
• The engine will automatically shut OFF if the operator leaves the lawn
tractor's seat with the PTO lever in the engaged (PTO ON) position, regardless
of whether the parking brake is engaged.
3-Position Ignition Switch (If Equipped)
The engine will automatically shut OFF if the PTO lever is moved into the engaged
(PTO ON) position with the speed control lever in REVERSE (R) position.
Ignition Switch Module (If Equipped)
With the ignition key in the NORMAL DRIVING MODE position, the engine will
automatically shut OFF if the PTO lever is moved into the engaged (PTO ON) position
with the speed control in REVERSE (R) position.
Do not operate the lawn tractor if the interlock system is malfunctioning.
This system was designed for your safety and protection.
Reverse Caution Mode (If Equipped)
Use extreme caution while operating the lawn tractor in the REVERSE
CAUTION MODE. Always look down and behind before and during lawn
tractor backing. Do not operate the lawn tractor when children or others
are around. Stop the lawn tractor immediately if someone enters the area.
The REVERSE CAUTION MODE position of the ignition switch module allows the lawn
tractor to be operated in reverse with the blades (PTO) engaged.
IMPORTANT: Mowing in the reverse direction is not recommended.
To use the REVERSE CAUTION MODE:
IMPORTANT: The operator MUST be seated in the lawn tractor seat.
