4.3.2Stopping Engine: Lock drive levers in neutral, disengage PTO, move speed control lever to neutral, and engage park brake. Move throttle to the “midway” position. Allow engine to run a minimum of 15 seconds. Rotate ignition switch to “Off” position. Remove key to prevent children or other unauthorized persons from starting engine.

Close fuel shut-off valve when machine will not be used for a few days, when transporting, and when the unit is parked inside a building.

4.3.3Drive Lever/Neutral Lock Latch Operation:

For Standard Pistol Grip Handles: To lock the drive levers in “neutral lock”, squeeze the drive levers back to the “neutral” position (Do Not squeeze the drive levers all the way back as this will cause the drive wheels to go into

full reverse direction). Place thumbs on the upper portion of the neutral lock latches and move them to the rear. Release drive levers (See Figure 4).

CAUTION

POTENTIAL HAZARD

If the neutral lock latches are not completely engaged the drive levers could unexpectedly slip into the forward drive position.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

If the drive levers slip into the drive position the unit could lurch forward and cause injury or property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Be sure the pins protruding through the slots of each neutral lock latch are completely engaged in the rear slot of each latch.

To place the drive levers in the drive position, firmly hold the drive levers, place thumbs on the upper portion of the neutral lock latches and move them forward to release the drive levers. Slowly and carefully release the drive levers.
