Digital Tachometer and Hour Meter
The tachometer/hour meter panel is located on the RH console
to the right of the operator’s seat. The hour meter records the
hours that the tractor has been operated in the digital display.
The tachometer provides engine speed (RPM), and service
reminders (oil, lube) in the digital display.
The tachometer/hour meter is activated all the time, but does
not consume power form the battery. Keep a record of the actual
hours of operation to assure all maintenance procedures are
completed according to the instructions in this manual and the
engine manual.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the RH console to the right
of the operator’s seat. When set in a given position, a uniform
engine speed will be maintained. The trottle control moves
between the fast
and slow positions.
Push the throttle control handle forward to increase the engine
speed. The tractor is designed to operate with the throttle
control in the fast position
(full throttle) when the tractor is
being driven and the mower deck is engaged.
Pull the throttle control handle rearward to decrease the engine
speed.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is located on the left side of
the tractor and to the left side of the brake pedal.
Push the parking brake and brake pedal down
at the same time until it latches to engage the
parking brake. Push the pedal downward and
release to disengage the parking brake.
NOTE: If the speed control pedals are not in the
neutral position when engaging the parking
brake, the engine will stop. The parking brake must be placed in
the engaged position when starting the tractor engine.
BRAKE
Speed Control Pedals
The speed control pedals are located on the right side of the
traction unit. The speed control pedals must be in the neutral
position to start the tractor engine.
Pushing the forward pedal causes the mower to move forward.
Pushing the reverse pedal causes the mower to move backward.
Consequently, these pedals control all of the movements of the
tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these control pedals is quite
different from conventional tractors, and will take some practice
to master. Refer to the Operation section for instructions on
using the speed control pedals.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located on the RH console to
the right of the operator’s seat. The ignition switch
has three positions as follows:
OFF — The engine and electrical system is turned
off.
RUN — The tractor electrical system is energized.
START — The starter motor will turn over the engine. Release 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.
PTO (Power Take-Off) Switch
The PTO switch is located on the RH console
to the right of the operator’s seat next to the
ignition switch.
The PTO switch operates the electric PTO
clutch mounted on the bottom of the engine
crankshaft. Pull the switch knob upward to
engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob
downward to disengage the clutch.
The PTO switch must be in the “disengaged”
position when starting the engine.
Fuel Valve
The fuel valve is located on the front of the LPG tanks. When
turned in a clockwise direction until it stops, it will shut off the
flow of fuel to the engine. When turned in a counter-clockwise
direction it will open and allow fuel to flow to the engine.
Fuel Gauge
Located on the front of the LPG
tanks, the fuel gauge measures the
fuel level in each tank.
