For Your Safety

•Know location and function of all controls.

•Be sure blades and engine are stopped before placing hands or feet near blades.

•Before leaving operator's position, disengage blade(s), place the shift lever in neutral, engage parking brake, shut engine off and remove key.

Stopping the Riding Mower

1.Release blade engagement pedal all the way.

2.Release "Go" Pedal and depress the brake pedal.

3.When the mower comes to a complete stop, place the shift lever in neutral.

4.Engage the parking brake by pulling up on the parking brake knob.

5.Turn the ignition key to OFF position and remove the key.

Safety Interlock

This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system for your protection. The interlock safety switches are connected to the brake pedal, the blade engagement pedal, the shift lever, and the seat.

The purpose of the safety interlock system is threefold:

•To prevent the engine from starting unless the brake pedal is depressed and the blade engagement pedal is disengaged;

•To shut off the engine if the blade pedal is not disengaged when the shift lever is put into reverse; and

•To shut the engine off when the operator leaves the seat without engaging the parking brake.

WARNING: TO avoid the risk of serious

 

injury, do not operate the riding mower if the

 

interlock system is malfunctioning.

Using Shift Lever

This lever is used to regulate direction of the riding mower. It can be set at forward, neutral, or reverse settings. These settings are marked F, N, and R respectively on the unit. This unit is designed not to mow when the shift lever is in B position. (If the blade is engaged while shift lever is at the R position, the unit wilt shut off. To restart the unit, disengage the blade.)

1.Before you move the shift lever to any of the positions, depress the brake pedal and stop the unit. Keep your foot on the brake pedal.

2.The shift lever is locked at the N position. Move the lever outwards (left) and slide the lever upward to F or downward to R position as desired.

NOTE: Look to the rear and make sure the path is free of obstacles before positioning the shift/ever to the reverse.

3.Do not force the shift lever. If it does not shift, release the brake pedal slightly to line up the shifting collar in the transmission, then try to move the shift lever.

4.Slowly release the brake pedal and take your foot off the pedal. Always make sure that there is no one in the way when you run the mower.

the speed of the engine.The

 

FAST and the SLOW positions

 

are marked with illustrations of

 

a rabbit and a turtle

 

respectively.

I___

The throttle/choke control is

•For normal operation and when using a grass catcher, move the throttle/

choke control to the FAST position.

•For maximum charging of the battery and also for a cooler engine while running, move the throttle/ choke control to the FAST position.

•For transport and to tow pull-behind attachments, move the throttle/choke control to the SLOW.

Grass Fill Level Indicator

This indicator was designed

 

to add convenience to your

 

riding mower. While the

 

mower is running, air will flow

 

through

the discharge chute

 

and into the grass catcher. If

 

the grass catcher is empty,

 

air flows

through easily

Grass Fill Level

pushing

the ball up. If the

Indicator

grass catcher is full, air does

not flow through it allowing the ball to fall. So if you see the ball in the grass catcher fill level indicator falling down, you should stop the mower and empty the bag.
