Section 2 Operation

After thoroughly familiarizing yourself with the Operator’s Manual and completing the Operator’s Checklist, you are almost ready to begin mowing.

Approach the mower from the front and make sure the steering levers are spread fully apart in parking brake position. Stand just to the outside rear of the left front anti-scalp wheel and grab the left side steering lever for support. Taking care not to step on the mower deck, step up onto the operator’s platform and comfortably seat yourself. With both steering levers still wide apart, reach for the throttle and choke control to your right side.

Position the throttle control at half throttle and pull the choke to the “up/on” position. Insert your ignition key and rotate the ignition key clockwise until you hear the engine begin to start. Release the ignition key and push the choke to “down/off” position. Allow the engine to warm up momentarily. If your mower has just been running and the engine is already warm, using the choke is usually not necessary.

With the engine at half throttle, reach forward and bring both steering levers equally together in the neutral position just in front of you. It’s now time to test your steering skills. Gently push both steering levers equally forward. The farther forward you push the levers, the faster you will go. Pull back equally and you will slow down, coming to a stop when you reach the neutral position. Now slowly pull the levers back toward your body past neutral position. The mower will reverse direction and increase in speed as you pull further back.

If you push one lever forward and pull one lever back the mower will do a zero turn in the direction of the steering lever closest to your body. Now take a few moments in a safe area to practice maneuvering and steering your mower with the engine still at half throttle. Gradually increase your throttle speed until you feel totally confident of your mower steering and handling ability around obstacles and in tight areas.

It’s now time to cut the grass. You should have already removed any obstacles from the lawn that you do not want run over. With your mower at half throttle, place your right foot on the deck lift pedal and release and lower the deck to your preset cutting height. With your right hand, pull up on the cutting blade engagement knob and increase the engine speed to full throttle. You may now begin mowing.

When you are done mowing or just want to take a break, make sure you do all of the following. Park on level ground, disengage the cutting blade, throttle back, leave the steering levers in wide-open parking brake position, turn the engine off, remove the key, and step carefully off the left front corner of the operator’s platform.

If your mower is equipped with the Accu-Vac Collection System and you need to empty the clipping containers, it is not necessary to shut the engine off. You must, however, disengage the cutting blade and spread the steering levers into parking brake position before you dismount or the unit will shut off automatically when you lift off of the seat. Simply reverse this process when you are ready to continue mowing.
