Features & Controls

Parking Brake

DISENGAGE

Releases the parking brake.

ENGAGE

Locks the parking brake.

Pull the parking brake handle up to engage the parking brake. Push the parking brake handle down to disengage the parking brake. NOTE: To start the unit the parking brake must be engaged.

PTO (Power Take Off) Switch

The PTO switch engages and disengages the mower. Pull UP on the switch to engage, and push DOWN to disengage.

Neutral Return Pedal

The neutral return pedal provides a hands-free return to neutral. The pedal is used in conjunction with the Reverse Speed Control Levers to properly stop the machine.

See the Operation section for Driving Instructions.

Fuel Tank Cap

To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.

Engine Kill / Operator Presence Handles

These handles are a major factor in the safety interlock system of the mower. Both handles are tied together so depressing one handle depresses both. The operator must depress the handles in order to deactivate the engine kill system. Handles must be depressed to disengage the parking brake and engage the PTO switch.

Transmission Release Valves

The transmission release levers deactivate the transaxle so that the unit can be pushed by hand. See PUSHING THE UNIT BY HAND for operational information.

Transmission Oil Fill

Transmission oil is added through the transmission oil reservoirs. It also serves as extra holding capacity for oil as the transmissions heat up and the oil expands. See CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL for oil level check and fill procedures.

Throttle Control

The throttle controls the engine speed. Move the throttle control forward towards the FAST position to increase the engine speed and back towards the SLOW position to decrease the engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.

FAST

Speeds up the engine speed.

SLOW

Slows down the engine speed.

Cutting Height Adjustment Handles

The cutting height adjustment handles control the mower deck cutting height. To raise the mower deck cutting height crank the cutting height adjustment handles clockwise. To lower the mower deck cutting height, crank the cutting height adjustment handles counter-clockwise. To ensure an even cut, both cutting height adjustment handles must be adjusted to the same height.

Choke Control

Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require choking. Pull the knob UP to close the choke. Push the knob DOWN to open the choke.
