MOWER OPERATION

1.Read and understand the safety instructions before attempting to operate this machine.

2.Before starting the engine:

*Check the oil level in the engine and the hydraulic reservoir.

*Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline.

*Open the fuel valve on the bottom of the fuel

tank.

Use gasoline with an octane rating no less than 87.

*The speed adjustment lever must be in

NEUTRAL.

*The blade clutch switch must be in the OFF position.

*The neutral latches must be in the neutral lock position.

*The key switch must be on.

*The parking brake must be on.

3.Start the engine:

*Choke as required. If the engine is cold, pull the choke knob out. When the engine starts, slowly push the choke in. If the engine stalls, repeat the above operation. When the engine is warm, choking may not be necessary.

*Cold starting. In the spring and fall when the morning temperatures are cool it may be difficult to start the machine due to the parastatic load from the hydraulic drive. To relieve this load, pull out and up on the de-clutch chain located on the right side of the machine behind the tire. This will allow you to start the engine easily. When the engine is warmed up, slowly release the de- clutch chain to engage the hydraulic system.

4.Engage the cutter blades by pulling the blade clutch switch into the ON position. Push the switch to the OFF position to disengage the cutter blades.

PULL UP TO ENGAGE

PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE

390S0138

-NOTE-

When PTO is engaged or (possibly) disengaged, a squealing sound from the underside of the machine is normal. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to speed. For best equipment life, engage the clutch with the engine at 3/4 throttle, not under full load.

WARNING:

If you are not familiar with the operation of the hydrostatic drive and zero turn feature, practice turning and maneuvering with the hand controls before engaging the blades.

5.Release the parking brake. Move the speed adjust- ment lever to the desired mowing speed.

-NOTE-

Top speed is suggested only for transport!

6.While squeezing the steering brake levers with both hands, release both neutral latches.

7.When the steering brake levers are released, the machine will travel straight. To make a right turn, squeeze the RH lever. To turn left, squeeze the LH lever.

8.TO STOP, squeeze both levers, lock the neutral latches, and move the speed adjustment lever to neutral.

9.To move the machine in reverse, squeeze up on both steering control levers.
