CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing
require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence
of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
A. Choke
D. Headlight Switch
Pulling the choke control OUT engages the choke for
cold starting. A warm engine may not require choking.
The light switch turn the tractor lights on and off.
E. Dashboard Display
B. Rear PTO Switch (Optional)
The dashboard display shows a variety of engine opera-
tion and control status information. See page 8 for more
detailed information.
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen-
gages attachments that use the OPTIONAL rear PTO.
To engage the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN
to disengage. Note that the operator must be seated
firmly in the tractor seat for the PTO to function.
F. Cutting Height Adjust / Spout Rotation
Cutting Height: The cutting height switch control the
mower cutting height. To set the cutting height, push the
TOP or BOTTOM of the switch while observing the cut-
ting height indicator on the left side of the mower deck.
C. Throttle
The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle for-
ward to increase engine speed, and back to decrease
engine speed. Normal operating speed is 3600 RPM.
Spout Rotation: When a snowthrower attachment is
used, the switch rotates the spout (discharge chute) left
or right.
Do not run at less than 3000 RPM during normal opera-
tion. Always set to full throttle when using attachments.
