Connect  the  end  of  one  cable  to  the  disabled

the   other   end  of   that   cable   to   the  booster
battery’s positive terminal.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
WARNING:  Avoid  sudden  starts,  exces-
sive speed and sudden stops.
Connect one end of the other cable to the booster
battery’s   negative  terminal;   then   connect   the
other end of that cable to the      frame of the dis-
abled tractor, as far from the battery as possible.
WARNING:  Do  not  leave  the  seat  of  the
tractor   without   disengaging   the   PTO,
moving drive control levers fully outward
in the neutral position, and engaging the
parking   brake.   If    leaving   the   tractor
unattended, turn the ignition key off and
remove key.
Start  the  disabled  tractor   following  the  normal
starting   instructions   previously  provided;   then
disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse
order of their connection.
Adjust    the    operator’s     seat    to    the     most
comfortable  position  that  allows  you  to  operate
the    controls.   See    seat    adjustment   in    the
ADJUSTMENTS section.
Have the tractor’s electrical system checked and
repaired  as  soon  as   possible  to  eliminate  the
need for jump starting.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Release the parking brake.
Place the PTO switch in the “OFF” position.
Move the RH and LH drive control levers inward
in the neutral position. See Figure 11.
Move  the   RH  and  LH  drive  control  levers  fully
outward in the neutral position.
Control Lever Moved
Inward and in Neutral
Engage the parking brake.
Move the throttle control between the half and full
trottle  positions,  and  turn  the  ignition  key  to  the
“OFF” position.
Remove the key from the ignition switch.
NOTE:   Always  remove  the   key  from   the  ignition
switch   to   prevent   accidental   starting   or    battery
discharge if the equipment is left unattended.
PRACTICE OPERATION (INITIAL USE)
Operating  a  zero-turn  tractor  is  not  like  operating  a
conventional  type  riding   tractor.  Although  and  be-
cause a zero-turn tractor is more maneuverable, get-
ting used to operating the control levers takes some
practice.
Figure 11  
NOTE: If the control levers are not even in the neutral
position, refer to Section 3 and adjust the levers so
that they are even.
We  strongly  recommend  that  you  locate  a  reason-
ably large, level and open "practice area" where there
are  no  obstructions,   pedestrians,  or  animals.   You
should practice operating the tractor for a minimum of
30 minutes.
Move the throttle control lever forward to the full
throttle position (3500-3600 RPM).
NOTE: The tractor and engine are designed to run at
full  throttle.  If   performing  a  practice  session,   it  is
preferable that the tractor is operated at less than full
throttle (approximately 2500-3000 RPM), but this only
applies to practice operation.
Carefully  move  (or  have  moved)  the  tractor  to  the
practice area. When performing the practice session,
the  PTO  should  not  be  engaged.  While  practicing,
operate  the  tractor  at  approximately  1/2-3/4  throttle
and  at   less  than  full   speed  in  both   forward  and
reverse.
WARNING:  Always  maintain  a  firm  grip
on the control levers. DO NOT release the
control levers to slow or stop the tractor;
move  the  levers  to  the  neutral  position
using your hands.
Carefully practice maneuvering the tractor using the
instructions in the following section "Driving the Trac-
tor."  Practice  until  you  are  confident  that  you   can
safely operate the tractor.
To  drive  the  tractor,  firmly  grasp  the  respective
drive control levers with your right and left hands
and  proceed  as  described  in  the  following  sub-
sections.
