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: References to LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, and REAR indicate that
position on the tractor when facing forward while seated in the
operator's seat.

RH and LH Drive Control Levers

The RH and LH control levers are located on each side of the
operator's seat. These hinged levers pivot outward to open
space to permit the operator to either sit in the tractor seat, or to
dismount the tractor. The levers must be fully opened out and in
the neutral position to start the tractor engine. When the levers
are fully outward, the parking brake is also engaged.
Each lever controls the respective RH or LH transmission.
Consequently, these levers control all of the movements of the
tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these control levers is
quite different from conventional tractors, and will take some
practice to master. Refer to Operation for instructions on using
the control levers.

Deck Height Index

The deck height index consists of eight index notches
located on the front/right of the console. Each notch
corresponds to a 1⁄2" change in the deck height position
ranging from 1-1⁄2" at the lowest notch to 4" at the
highest notch.

Deck Lift Handle

The deck lift handle is located on the front/right of the
console, and is used to raise and lower the mower deck.
Pull the handle to the left out of the index notch and push
downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise the
deck. When the desired height is attained, move the lift
handle to the right until fully in the index notch.
