AND SAFETY to familiarize RULES BEFORE yourself OPERATING with the locations of various YOUR TRACTOR controls and adjustments. )3026 FiG. 3 Our tractors conform to the applicable safety standards (A) ATTACHMENT LIFT LEVER - Used to raise and lower the mower or other attachments mounted to your tractor.
OPERATION The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles. HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR TO SET PARKING BRAKE(See IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position other than "STOP" will cause the battery to discharge and go dead. Fig.
OPERATION NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface. • • • Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in this section of manual). With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole. Tighten securely. Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in same adjustment hole. FiG.
OPERATION _I_WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch engaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Transmission USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders will enter the mowing area.
OPERATION Release the parking brake and let the brake slowly return to operating position. Allow one minute for transmission to warm up. This can be done during the engine warm up period. The attachments can be used during the engine warm-up period after the transmission has been warmed up and may require the choke control be pulled out slightly. CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
OPERATION MOWING TiPS • Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See"TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual. The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming. Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the machine. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting.
