4.Electric Blade Clutch Switch: (See Figure 1.) Located on the seat support beside the ignition switch. This is an “on/off” push pull switch that controls the electric blade clutch which supplies power to the cutting blades through the PTO. The switch must be turned off to start the engine and should be turned off for safety any time another person approaches the mower or the mowing deck is raised to the transport position. Power to the electric clutch will also be cut off if the opera- tor leaves the operator’s seat.

5.Parking Brake: (See Figure 3.) Located on the left side of the traction unit. The handle is an overcenter lever which applies the drum- type brake on each drive wheel when the han- dle is pulled to the rear. The brake must be engaged in order to start the engine.

6.Deck Lift Handle: (See Figure 3.) Located on the right front corner of the mowing deck. Raise the mowing deck to the transport posi- tion, by pulling the lever to the rear and mov- ing it inward into the stop for transport. To lower the mowing deck, pull the deck lift han- dle and move it outward. This lower’s the deck to the cutting position.

7.Fuel Shutoff Valve: (See Figure 4.) Located on top of the fuel tank(s). When turned in a clockwise direction until it stops, it will shut off the flow of fuel to the engine. When turned in a counterclockwise direction it will open and allow fuel to flow to the engine. Close this valve if you are not going to run the mower for a period of 30 minutes or more to prevent flooding the engine.

8.Seat Adjustment Lever: The Seat Adjust- ment Lever is located beneath the seat. The Seat Adjustment Lever is used to move the seat forward and backward. To place the seat in the desired position pull the seat adjust- ment lever to the left then push the seat for- ward or back to the desired position. Release the lever so the seat will lock in place.

9.Digital Tachometer and Hour Meter: (See Figure 1) Located on the seat support above the ignition switch. When the machine is run- ning the tachometer displays engine rpm.

When the machine is off the tachometer dis- plays running time.

Note: There will be a flashing “LUBE” for each recommended lubrication interval. There is a flashing “OIL” at each recommended engine oil and filter change.

10.Choke Lever: (See Figure 2) The Choke Lever is located on the left side of the seat support. The Choke Lever is operated manu- ally. Having the Choke Lever in the ON posi- tion helps the engine to start during initial start-up. During normal operation the Choke Lever should be in the OFF position.

11.Folding Deck Control: The switch for the electrically powered deck folding mechanism is located on the seat support. Pull upward on the switch to fold up, and push downward to fold down.
