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.

to the right of the operator’s seat.
H. Storage Tray
The storage tray is located at the rear of the RH console.

right of the operator’s seat. The ignition switch has three
positions as follows:
J. Seat Adjustment Lever (Not Seen)

minutes before refueling. Highly flammable
gasoline could splash onto the engine and
cause a fire.

the key immediately when the engine starts
NOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery
discharge, remove the key from the ignition switch when the
tractor is not in use.

Hour Meter Features
The PTO switch must be in the “disengaged” position
when starting the engine.
The hour meter records the hours that the tractor has been
operated in the digital display (tenths of an hour - right
most digit).
F. Transmission Bypass Rods (Not Visible)
The transmission bypass rods (one for each the RH and LH
transmission) are located beneath the frame platform, just
inside each rear wheel.
NOTE: The hour meter is activated whenever the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position. Record actual hours of
operation to assure all maintenance is completed according
to the instructions in this manual, and the engine manual.
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 Maintenance &
Adjustments for instructions on using the bypass feature.
When key is turned to the “ON” position, the battery
indicator light briefly illuminates and the battery voltage
is briefly displayed. The display then changes to the
accumulated hours.
CAUTION: Never tow your tractor. Towing
the tractor with the rear wheels on the
ground may cause severe damage to the
transmissions.
