Deck Lift Release Lever
The deck lift release lever is located on the left side of the
operator's seat and is used to lock the deck in the transport
position. Press down on the deck lift pedal and lift up on the
deck lift release lever to release the deck.
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 under
the seat. The function of the reservoir is to hold the natural
expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission
warms up during operation. DO NOT FILL THE RESERVOIR.
Under normal operating conditions, no oil should be added
to the reservoir. The COLD oil level should be no higher than
approximately 1⁄4" above the bottom of the reservoir.
NOTE: Prior to the initial operation of the tractor, the oil level in
the reservoir may be slightly higher than the maximum due to air
in the oil lines. Operation of the tractor will eventually purge the
air from the lines and the oil level will settle to the maximum.
Fuel Gauge
There is a fuel gauge on top of each
of the two fuel tanks and measures
the fuel level in each tank.
Fuel Valve
The fuel valve is located behind the
seat on the right side of the frame.
The valve switches the fuel flow
from the right and left tank and also
can shut of fuel flow to the engine.
Rotate the valve to the right to open
the flow from the right fuel tank.
Rotate the valve to the left to open
the flow from the left tank. To shut off fuel from both tanks rotate
the valve 90° towards the front of the tractor. See the Operation
section for more information on using the fuel valve.
Accessory Switch Receptacles
The three receptacles for
optional accessories are
on the RH console. See the
Attachments & Accessories
section for information. The
receptacles are for switches
for an optional electric deck
lift, lights and/or an auxiliary switch.
Tool Box
The tool box is located on the right side of the tractor between
the seat and the console.
Auxiliary Power Point (Not Shown)
The auxiliary power point is a 12V DC outlet and is located inside
the toolbox on the right side of the seat.
NOTE: Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not insert any other object in the power outlet as this will
damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type
of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your
warranty. Do not use the power point for operating a cigarette
lighter element.
Transmission Bypass Valves (Not Shown)
The transmission bypass valves (one for each the RH and LH
transmission) are located under the tractor on the front of each
transmission inside the rear wheels.
When engaged, the two valves open a bypass within the
hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed
OFF short distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section
