Ignition Switch Module

WARNING: Never leave a running machine

unattended. Always disengage PTO, move

shift lever into neutral position, set parking

brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent

unintended starting.

To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition

switch and turn clockwise to the START position.

Release the key into the NORMAL MOWING MODE

position once the engine has fired.

To stop the engine, turn the ignition key

counterclockwise to the STOP position. See Figure 8.

Figure 8

IMPORTANT: Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both

Safety Interlock Switches, page 14 and Starting The Engine, page

15 of this manual for detailed instructions regarding the

Ignition Switch Module and operating the tractor in

REVERSE CAUTION MODE.

Drive Pedal

The drive pedal is located below

the brake pedal on the right front

side of the tractor along the

running board. Depress the drive

pedal with your right foot when

the tractor shift lever is in either

FORWARD or REVERSE to

cause the tractor to move.

Ground speed is also controlled

with the drive pedal. The further

down the pedal is depressed, the faster the tractor will

travel. The pedal will return to its original position when

it’s not depressed.

IMPORTANT: Always set the parking brake when

leaving the tractor unattended.

Systems Indicator Monitor

Your tractor is equipped with either an hour meter or an

ammeter as part of two available system indicator

monitors. Locate the monitor on the left side of your

dash panel and compare it to both shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9

If the Brake light or PTO light illuminates when

attempting to start the unit, proceed as follows:

BRAKE — Depress the brake pedal.

PTO — Move PTO (Blade Engage) lever,

or PTO (Blade Engage) knob into the

disengaged (OFF) position.

NOTE: It is normal for the Oil light and the Battery light

to illuminate while the engine is cranking, but if either

illuminate’s while the engine is running, proceed as

follows:

OIL— Stop the tractor immediately and check

the crankcase oil level as instructed in

the Engine Operator/Owner

Manual included with your tractor.

BATTERY— The battery is in need of a charge, or the

engine’s charging system is not

generating sufficient amperage. Refer to

the MAINTENANCE section of this manual

for the proper battery charging procedure

or have the charging system checked by

an authorized dealer.

On units so equipped, the ammeter (if so equipped)

measures the electrical output of the engine’s charging

system. Under normal operating conditions, with the

engine at full throttle, the ammeter’s needle should

measure a positive charge.

The hour meter (if so equipped) operates whenever

the engine is running and records the actual hours of

tractor operation.
