STARTING THE TRACTOR (Fig. E15 – Fig. E16)

WARNING: Avoid sudden starts, stops, and turns, as well as excessive speed, especially when first learning to operate the tractor. The tractor can spin rapidly, which may cause you to lose control and result in serious injury and/or damage.

WARNING: Before starting the tractor, check and make sure the blades are disengaged within 5s when pushing the PTO switch downward. If the blades fail to stop, do not use the tractor and contact your EGO customer service immediately.

NOTE:

• If the parking-brake pedal is set at the parking-brake position, you need to only press the start/stop button for 3 seconds to illuminate the LCD screen and then release the parking-brake pedal before driving the tractor.

• The cutting blades can be started at any time once the LCD screen is fully illuminated and the direction control lever is not pulled backward in the “R” direction. To turn on the blades while driving the tractor in reverse, refer to the section “TURNING BLADES ON WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE” in this manual.

NOTICE: Follow Fig. E17 to get the lowest driving speed until you are fully capable of operating the tractor in all situations.

The electric lawn tractor does not memorize the driving speed and blade speed settings. The driving speed and blade speed will return to level 2 every time the tractor is turned off.

Driving Speed Adjustment (Fig. E17)

Blade Speed Adjustment (Fig. E18)

NOTE: When in “Level 3”, press the blade speed adjustment button again and the blade speed will resume the previous speed.

LED Lights (Fig. E19)

• The LED headlights could be turned on and off by the LED light switch.

USB Port

NOTICE: The USB port provides charging power of 5 Voltage DC at up to a combined draw of 1.5 Amperes and is powered only when the tractor is startup.

Possible cause: The parking-brake pedal is depressed enough but not locked to the parking position, the tractor will stop.
