The cruise control feature should only be utilized while traveling in the
forward direction. To engage the cruise control, follow these steps:
1. Place shift lever in FORWARD position, then slowly depress the drive
pedal until desired speed is achieved.
2. Lightly depress the cruise control button.
3. While continuing to hold the cruise button in, lift your foot from the drive
pedal (you should feel the cruise latch engage).
4. Once engaged, the cruise control button and the drive pedal will lock in
the “down” position, and the tractor will maintain same forward speed.
NOTE: Cruise control cannot be engaged at the tractor’s fastest ground speed. If the operator should attempt to do
so, the tractor will automatically decelerate to the fastest optimal mowing ground speed.
