Controls

Note: Become familiar with all of the controls in Figure 3 and Figure 4 before you start the engine and operate the machine.

Ignition Switch

Located on control panel.

The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three positions “OFF”, “RUN” and “START” ( Figure 4). Insert key into switch and rotate clockwise to the “ON” position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage the starter (key must be held against spring pressure in this position).

Blade Control Switch (Power Take-Off)

Located on the control panel.

The blade control switch, represented by a power take-off (PTO) symbol, engages and disengages power to the mower blades (see Figure 4).

Pull out on the blade control switch to “On” to engage the blades.

Push the blade control switch to “Off ” to disengage the blades.

Throttle Lever

Located on control panel.

The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving throttle lever forward will increase engine speed and moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed. Moving the throttle forward until it stops is full throttle (see Figure 4).

(power take-off)

Note: Brake must be engaged (motion control levers out) and PTO switch “OFF” to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to be in the seat to start the engine.)

Turning the key to the Off position will stop the engine; however, always remove the key when leaving the machine to prevent someone from accidentally starting the engine.

Choke Control

The choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. Pulling up on the choke control will put the choke in the “ON” position and pushing down the control will put the choke in the “OFF” position. Do Not run a warm engine with the choke in the “ON” position.

Motion Control Levers and Parking Brake Position

The motion control levers located on each side of the seat (Figure 3).

The motion control levers are speed sensitive controls of independent wheel motors. Moving a lever forward or backward turns the wheel on the same side forward or in reverse; wheel speed is proportional to the amount the lever is moved. Moving the control levers outward from the center position engages the parking brake on the drive wheels. Always position the motion control levers into the parking brake position when you stop the machine or leave it unattended. The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.

Deck Height Adjustment Lever

Located below the RH motion control lever (Figure 3).
