WARNING
In case the tractor must be pushed, the transmission
disengagement bypass lever must be put in the
forward position.
RIDING THE TRACTOR
The tractor is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission.
It means that the forward and reverse speed can be
achieved with the use of the pedals (Fig. 15).
The more depressed the pedals are, the faster the tractor
moves. The tractor moves forward and reverse at the
same speed.
BRAKE (FIG. 14)
When the pedal is fully depressed, the brake is applied.
Then, place the throttle lever at the "turtle" idle position
(fig. 17).
The parking brake lever is used to lock the brake pedal
in brake position (fig. 14; pos. 2).
REVERSE GEAR (FIG. 15)
! !
CAUTION
Come to a full stop before changing direction of
motion.
Depress slowly the reverse movement pedal
(Fig. 15, pos. 2).

WARNING
While riding backwards, watch out behind.
Do not have your mower engaged!
