4.3Electro-mechanical deck lift control: Switch is located on left side of control console. Moving the toggle switch lever forward will lower the cutting deck. Moving the lever backward will raise the deck. Normal operation is with the actuator fully extended. The actuator has an internal clutch to protect it from excessive loads. When raising or lowering the deck and the actuator has reached it’s limit, a "ratcheting" sound is heard. When this ratcheting sound is heard, release switch lever, momentarily reverse switch to move actuator just off the fully extended or retracted position.

4.4PTO Engagement: Located on right side of control console. The switch must be pulled out to the “ROTATE” position to engage the blades. The switch is pushed in to the “STOP” position to stop the blades. Operator must be in the seat when blades are engaged or engine will stop.

4.5Choke Control: Located on the left side of the control console. The choke control is used to aid in starting a cold engine. The choke control is pulled out to be in the “ON” position and pushed in to be in the “OFF” position. DO NOT run a warm engine with the choke in the “ON” position.

4.6Throttle Control: Located on the control console right side. Throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving throttle control ahead will increase engine speed and moving it to the rear will decrease engine speed.

4.7Park Brake Lever: Located ahead and near the right side of control console. Park brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive wheels and also locks the hydrostatic drive system in neutral. Moving the lever rearward will engage the brake. To disengage brake, lift finger latch and move brake ahead. Operator must be in the seat when brake is disengaged or engine will stop.

4.8Ignition Switch: Located on the control console just ahead of the steering handle. The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three positions “OFF”, “ON” and “START”. Insert key into switch and rotate to the right to the "ON" position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage the starter (key must be held against spring pressure in this position). Operator must be in seat with brake engaged and PTO disengaged to start engine. When engine starts, release key. DO NOT leave key in the “ON” position without engine running, this will run down the battery.

4.9Hour Meter: Located on the steering console just below the steering wheel. The hour meter is connected to a pressure switch installed in the engine block and it records the number of hours that the engine has run. If ignition switch is left on without engine running, hour meter will not run.

NOTE: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not alert the operator if the engine oil is low.

4.10Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Located in the fuel line near the right rear corner of the engine. The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the flow of fuel when parking inside a building, during transportation to and from job sites and when the machine will not be used for a few days. Rotate valve 1/4 turn clockwise to shut fuel off. Rotate valve 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to turn fuel on.

4.11Drive Wheel Release Lever: Located under the lower left rear corner of the engine deck (See Figure 4). The drive wheel release lever is used to release the hydrostatic drive system to allow machine to be pushed while the engine is not running. Rotate lever 1/8 turn counter-clockwise until caught under spring latch to release drive system. Pull spring latch out far enough to allow lever to rotate 1/8 turn clockwise to engage drive system.

NOTE: Do Not tow machine or transmission damage may result.
