Ignition Switch

Operation

engaged. The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.

The park brake must be disengaged to move speed control out of neutral or engine will kill.

For manual start engines: The park brake must be disengaged before the PTO is engaged or the engine will kill.

Ignition Switch

Located on the left side of the control console.

The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The ignition switch has three positions, “Off ”, “On” and “Start”. 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). Operator must have speed control lever in neutral, OPC levers depressed and PTO disengaged to start engine. When engine starts, release key.

Fuel Valve

Located on the LPG fuel tank.

The fuel valve is used to open and close the fuel supply when the machine is not in use, during transport to and from the jobsite, and when parked inside a well-ventilated building.

Rotate the fuel valve clockwise to turn off the fuel. Rotate fuel valve counter-clockwise to turn on the fuel.

Drive Wheel Release Valves

Located on the left rear corner of the hydrostatic pumps.

Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydro-static drive system to allow the machine to be moved by hand without the engine running.

With a 5/8 wrench, turn both valves one turn counterclockwise to release the drive system.

Turn clockwise to reset the drive system. Do Not overtighten.

Tracking Adjustment Knob

Located on the right-hand side of the rear of the fuel tank support.

The knob can be adjusted so that machine will “track” straight ahead with the drive levers released.

PTO Engagement

Located on the left side of the upper handle.

To engage the blades, push the lever forward, or away from the operator, until the linkage locks over-center. To disengage the blades, pull the lever to the rear, or towards the operator.

For manual start engines: The park brake must be disengaged before the PTO is engaged or the engine will kill.

LPG Cylinder Bracket

The bracket is located on the engine deck.

The LPG cylinder bracket is used to fasten the removable LPG tank to the mower.

Fuel Gauge

Located on the LPG fuel tank.

This gauge monitors the amount of liquid LPG in the fuel tank.

Safety Pressure Relief Valve

Located on the LPG fuel tank.

The safety pressure relief valve relieves the excess pressure in the LPG tank.

Important: This valve has a protective plastic cap that should NEVER be removed. If the cap is damaged or missing, contact trained and qualified personnel immediately.

Pre-Start

LPG tanks supplied from Exmark Do Not contain LPG fuel. Have the LPG tanks filled by trained and qualified personnel. For best results, use clean, fresh HD5 grade propane.

Do Not allow the LPG tanks to be overfilled. Overfilling LPG tanks builds excess pressure within the tank which causes the relief valve to open.

Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their safety requirements.
