Gear Shift Lever
The transaxle has four forward gears, neutral and
reverse. Do not shift through the gears on the
transaxle as you would in an automobile. Pre­
select the gear appropriate for the job you are do­
ing. (See figure 10.)
You must depress the clutch-brake pedal and
come to a complete stop before shifting gears.
(See figure 11.)
Clutch-Brake Pedal
The clutch-brake pedal is located on the right side
of the tractor. Depressing the clutch-brake pedal
part way disengages the clutch. Pressing the
pedal all the way down disengages the clutch and
engages the disc brake.
NOTE
The clutch-brake pedal must be de­
pressed to start the engine.
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, depress the clutch-brake
pedal and pull up the parking brake knob. It will
stay in the raised position. To release the parking
brake, depress and release the clutch-brake pedal.
(See figure 11.)
Hill Hold Brake Lever
When stopping on a hill, hold the lever back while
you release the clutch-brake pedal until the tractor
begins to move, then release the lever. This
prevents you from rolling down the hill while
releasing the clutch. (See figure 11.)
Lift Lever
The five position lift lever is used to change the
operating position of the attachments. To operate,
pull the lever towards you. To release, move the
lever to the right and then forward. (See figure 12.)
