Running

1.Release the parking brake by moving the lever forward.

Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system. When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine.

2.Move the steering controls to the neutral position (N).

3.Select the cutting height by the cutting height pedal.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The mower deck’s anti-scalp rollers should be evenly adjusted.

WARNING!

Ensure that no one is near the machine when engaging the Blade switch.

4.Engage the mower deck by pulling out the blade switch.

5.Move throttle control to full throttle.

6.The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. When both controls are in the neutral position, the machine stands still.

By moving both controls an equal amount forward or backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or backward respectively.
