PTO/Blade Engage Handle (Manual PTO tractors)
The PTO/blade engage handle is located on the right fender.
Activating the PTO engages power to the cutting deck or other
(separately available) attachments. See the Operation section for
information and instructions on using the PTO.
Transmission Bypass Rod
The transmission bypass rod is located at the rear of the tractor
on the lower right section of the frame.
When engaged, the rod opens a bypass within the hydrostatic
transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short
distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for
instructions on using the bypass feature.
Park Brake/Cruise Control Lever
Located in the center of the tractor’s dash panel below the steering
wheel, the park brake/cruise control lever is used to engage the
parking brake and the cruise control. Refer to the Operation section
of this manual for detailed instructions regarding the parking brake.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine will
automatically shut off.
NOTE: Cruise control can NOT be engaged at the tractor’s
fastest ground speed.
WARNING! Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always disengage the PTO, set the
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key
to prevent unintended starting.
