PTO (Blade Engage) knob
inward to disengage the power to the cutting deck.

when traveling in reverse and if the operator leaves the
seat.
Manual PTO (Blade Engage) Lever
On models equipped with a manual PTO (Blade
Engage), the PTO (Blade Engage) lever is located on
the left side of the dashboard next to the steering
wheel. Move the PTO (Blade Engage) lever forward to
engage the power to the cutting deck or other
(separately available) attachments; move the PTO
(Blade Engage) lever rearward to disengage the power
to the attachments.
NOTE: The PTO (Blade Engage) lever must be in the

when traveling in reverse and if the operator leaves the

Seat Adjustment Lever
To adjust the seat forward or backward on units
equipped with a quick-adjust seat, slide the seat
adjustment lever to the left and reposition the seat to
the desired position. Once a comfortable position is
found, release the seat adjustment lever to lock the
seat in place. Refer to Seat Adjustment of this manual for
more detailed instructions.
Deck Lift Lever
Found on your tractor’s right fender, the deck lift lever is
used to change the height of the cutting deck. To use,
move the lever to the left, then place in the notch best
suited for your application.
Parking Brake Button
To set the parking brake, fully
depress the brake pedal and
push the parking brake button in.
Hold the button in while taking
your foot off the brake pedal.
Both the parking button and the
brake pedal will then stay
depressed. To release the
parking brake, depress the brake
pedal slightly. The parking brake
button will then return to its original position.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine
will automatically shut off.
IMPORTANT: Always set the parking brake when
leaving the tractor unattended.
Cruise Control Button
The cruise control button is
located on the tractor dash panel
to the left of the ignition switch.
Push the cruise control button
while traveling forward at a
desired speed. While holding the
button in, release pressure from
the drive pedal. This will engage
the cruise control and allow the
tractor to remain at that speed
without applying pressure to the drive pedal. Depress
the brake pedal or the drive pedal to deactivate cruise
control. Refer to OPERATION SECTION this manual for
detailed instructions regarding the cruise control
feature.
NOTE: Cruise control can NOT be engaged at the
tractor’s fastest ground speed. If the operator should
attempt to do so, the tractor will automatically
decelerate to the fastest optimal mowing ground speed.
Cargo Net (optional)
Conveniently located on the tractor’s dash panel, the
cargo net can be used to store personal items while
operating the tractor.
