OPERATION

HOW TO USE YOUR MOWER

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 3)

Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system. When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the park brake will shut off the engine.

•Pull park brake lever up and to the right to engage the park brake. Make sure the lever is secured to the right.

DECK BLADES

•To stop the deck blades, press down on the PTO Switch into the disengaged position.

ENGINE

•Move throttle control to slow position.

NOTE: Failure to move the throttle control to slow position and allow engine to idle before stopping may cause engine to “backfire”.

•Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key. Always remove key when leaving the mower to prevent unauthorized use.

•Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN “OFF” WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).

WARNING

Always stop mower completely before leaving the operators position; to empty a grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 3)

Always operate engine at full throttle. The Throttle control is equipped with a choke detent. Pressing the throttle control all of the way forward will choke the engine. For full throttle, press throttle control forward until you feel resistance.

•Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the battery charging rate

•Full throttle offers the best mower performance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 3)

Use choke control whenever you are starting a cold engine. Do not use to start a warm engine.

•To choke, press the throttle control as far forward as it will go.

•To take out of choke, pull back on the throttle control until it clicks.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 4)

IMPORTANT: CONTROL LEVERS RETURN TO NEUTRAL WHEN RELEASED. THIS MAY CAUSE A SUDDEN STOP OF THE MOWER.

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the control levers on either side of the mower.

The left lever controls the flow of oil in the left IZT (Integrated Zeroturn Transaxle) to the left wheel. The right lever controls the flow of oil in the right IZT to the right wheel.
