Operation

Attachments

This unit can use many different attachments.

For all pull-behind attachments or trailers, the maximum gross weight is 250 pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the attachment or trailer and any load that might be on or in it.

Do not operate on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees when using a pull-behind attachment or trailer. We have included a slope guide in this book to help you determine the slope on which you will be operating your unit. Never allow someone to stand or ride on or in an attachment or trailer.

Using Controls

How to Use the Throttle Control

Use the throttle control to increase or decrease the speed of the engine.

CAUTION: Always operate the engine with the throttle control in the FAST position. If the engine runs for several minutes at slower than the FAST position, the engine and transmission will overheat and can be damaged.

1.The FAST position is marked with a detent. For normal operation and when using a grass bagger, move the throttle control to the FAST position. For maximum charging of the battery and for a cooler running engine and transmission, operate the engine in the FAST position.

2.For transport and to tow pull behind attachments, control the ground speed with the speed control pedal.

3.The engine governor is set at the factory for maximum performance. Do not adjust the governor to increase the speed of the engine.
