When engaged, the two rods open a bypass within
the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the
tractor to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer
to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions
on using the bypass feature.
CAUTION
Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the
rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to
the transmissions.
Cup Holder (J)
The cup holder is located to the left of the operator's
seat on the LH console.
Seat Adjustment Lever (K)
The seat adjustment lever is located below
the seat. The seat adjustment lever allows for
adjustment forward or backward of the operator's
seat. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for
instructions on adjusting the seat position.
Fuel Tank Cap(s) (L)
The fuel tank cap(s) are located near the middle
of the LH console on some models and the LH
and RH console on some models. Turn the fill cap
to remove. The fuel cap is tethered to the tractor
to prevent its loss. Do not attempt to remove the
cap from the tractor. Fill tank to the bottom of the
filler neck, allowing some space in the tank for fuel
expansion. Do not overfill the tank.
Push the cap downward on the fuel tank fill neck
and turn clockwise until it clicks to tighten. Always
re-install the fuel cap tightly onto the fuel tank
after removing.
WARNING
Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is running. If
the engine is hot from recently running, allow to cool
for several minutes before refueling. Highly flammable
gasoline could splash onto the engine and cause a fire.
Fuel Level Windows (M)
The fuel level windows are located on the outside
of the LH and RH consoles and shows the level of
fuel in the gas tank.
Throttle Control (N)
The throttle control is located on the RH
console. When set in a given position, a
uniform engine speed will be maintained.
Push the throttle control handle forward
to increase the engine speed. The tractor
is designed to operate with the throttle
control in the fast position (full throttle)
when the tractor is being driven and the
tractor deck is engaged.
Pull the throttle control handle rearward to
decrease the engine speed.
Choke Control (O)
The choke control is located
on the RH console. The choke
control determines the position
of the engine choke. Pull the
knob out to choke the engine;
push the knob in to open the choke.
Fuel Valve (P) (If equipped)
The fuel valve is located
on the inner side of the
RH console. The valve
switches the fuel flow from
the right and left tank and
also can shut off fuel flow
to the engine. Rotate the
valve to the rear to open
the flow from the right
fuel tank
. Rotate the
valve to the front to open
the flow from the left tank
. To shut off fuel from
both tanks rotate the
valve towards the right of the tractor and the OFF
position. See the Operation section for more
information on using the fuel valve.
LCD Service Minder & Hour Meter (Q)
When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP
position but not into the START position, the LCD
Service Minder and Hour Meter will briefly display
the battery voltage, followed by the tractor's
accumulated hours.
NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded
any time the ignition key is rotated out of the
STOP position, regardless of whether the engine
is started.
The LCD Service Minder will remind the operator
of maintenance intervals for changing the
engine oil, air filter service, low engine and low
battery warnings.
Change Oil
The LCD will display the letters "CHG", followed by
the letters "OIL", followed by the letters "SOON",
then finally followed by the meter's accumulated
time. "CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME" will alternate on the
display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50
hours. This oil service minder interval will occur
every 50 hours. Before the interval expires, change
the engine oil as instructed in the Product Care
section of this Operator's Manual.
Low Oil
The letters "LO" followed by the letters "OIL", then
followed by the meter's accumulated time will
indicate the tractor is low on oil. Stop the tractor
immediately and check the engine oil level as
instructed in this Operator's Manual.
NOTE: The "LOW OIL" function only works if the
engine is equipped with an oil pressure switch.
Low Battery
At startup, the battery
voltage is briefly
displayed then changes
to accumulated hours.
The letters "LO" will display followed by the
letters "BATT" and then followed by the meter's
accumulated time. "LO/BATT/TIME" is displayed
on the LCD when the voltage drops below 11.5
volts. When this occurs, the battery is in need
of a charge or the engine's charging system is
not generating sufficient amperage. Charge the
battery as instructed in the Product Care section of
this manual or have the charging system checked
by your local service dealer.
Air Filter Service
The letters "CLN" will
display, followed by the
letters "AIR", followed
by "FILT", then followed
by the meter's accumulated time. "CLN/AIR/FILT/
TIME" will alternate on the display for 7 minutes
after the meter reaches 25 hours. This air filter
service minder time interval will be every 25 hours.
On intervals that are common with oil service, the
oil message will be displayed first followed by the
air filter message.
Park Brake/Cruise
Control Lock Pedal (R)
The park brake/cruise control
lock pedal is located at the
base of the steering column.
It is used to engage the park
brake when the tractor is at rest.
Engaging the lever while the
tractor is in motion allows the
tractor to remain at a constant
ground speed without applying
pressure to the forward drive
pedal. Refer to the Operation
section of this manual for
detailed instructions regarding
the parking brake as well as the
cruise control feature.
NOTE: Cruise control can NOT
be engaged at the tractor's
fastest ground speed. If the
operator should attempt to do
so, the tractor will automatically
decelerate to the fastest optimal
mowing ground speed.
NOTE: The park brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the
engine will automatically shut off.
Transmission Oil Expansion Reservoir
(Not shown)
The transmission oil expansion reservoir is connected
by hoses to the RH and LH transmission assemblies,
and is located behind the seat box. The function
of the reservoir is to hold the natural expansion
of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission
warms up during operation. See the Assembly & Set-
Up section for more information on the transmission
oil expansion reservoir.
