GROUND DRIVE

•To stop ground drive, depress brake pedal all the way down.

ENGINE

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

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position other than "STOP" will cause the battery to discharge and go dead.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when riding mower is standing idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always stop engine when stopping riding mower on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop riding mower completely, as described above, before leaving the operator's position.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the motion control lever.

1.Start riding mower with clutch/brake pedal depressed and motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

2.Move motion control lever to desired position.

3.Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to start movement. IMPORTANT: Bring riding mower to a complete stop before shifting or changing gears. Failure to do so will shorten the useful life of your transaxle.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The position of the mower height deck lift lever determines the cutting height.

•Grasp lift lever.

•Press lift lever plunger with thumb and move lever to desired position.

The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2 to 4". The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with the engine not running. These heights are approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.

•The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" during hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

•For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to desired height.

TO OPERATE MOWER

Your riding mower is equipped with an operator presence sensing switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with the engine running and the deck clutch engaged will shut off the engine. You must remain fully and centrally positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitating or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough, rolling terrain or hills.
