Frequently asked questions
To start the engine, disengage the blades/PTO, engage the parking brake, activate the choke control, and turn the key to start. After the engine starts, release the key and deactivate the choke by placing the throttle to the fast “rabbit” position.
To operate in reverse, turn the key to the Reverse Caution Mode position, depress the reverse push button, and ensure the red indicator light is “ON”. Remember, mowing in reverse is not recommended.
The Craftsman 247.28901 lawn tractor includes several safety features, such as a seat safety switch that stops the engine when the operator leaves the seat, a blade engagement interlock that prevents the blades from engaging unless the PTO is engaged, and a parking brake that prevents the tractor from moving when parked.
Refer to the Operator's Manual for detailed instructions on how to maintain your lawn tractor. This includes things like checking and changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, and sharpening the blades.
