CONTROLS

Hour Meter

The hour meter displays the total operating time with the blade activated.

The display on the hour meter will turn on the oil can icon after every fifty hours of use and will stay on for two hours or until the meter is manually reset. To manually reset the timer, turn the ignition key to the run position and then engage and disengage the blade switch five times at one second intervals.

Choke Control

The choke control is used for cold starts in order to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.

For cold starts the control should be pulled out to its extent.

Tracking Knob

If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure is 10 psi. (.7 bar) for the front tires and 15 psi (1 bar) for the rear tires. Tracking must be checked on a flat and level concrete or blacktop surface.

Rotating the tracking knob allows fine tuning adjustments so the machine tracks straight with the steering control levers in the full forward position.

Rotate the knob clockwise (as viewed from the operation position) to increase the speed on the left lever. Rotate counterclockwise to decrease speed.
