3.OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1CONTROLS

3.1.1Familiarize yourself with all controls before operating the mower.

3.1.2Motion Control Levers: Located on each side of the console. The left lever controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the left hydrostatic pump to the left drive wheel motor. The right lever controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the right hydrostatic pump to the right drive wheel motor.

IMPORTANT: To begin movement (forward or backward) the operator must be in the seat, the brake lever must be disengaged (pushed down) before the motion control levers can be moved in or the engine will kill.

When levers are centered in the T-slot the drive system is in the neutral position. With levers moved out in the T-slot the drive system is in the neutral lock position See Figure 2.

FIGURE 2

By moving both levers an equal amount forward or back from the neutral position the machine can be caused to move forward or backward in a straight line.

Movement of the left lever forward will cause the left drive wheel to rotate in a forward direction. Movement of the right lever forward will cause the right drive wheel to rotate in a forward direction. To stop forward travel, pull the levers back to the neutral position.

To turn left while moving forward, move the left lever back toward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.

To turn right while moving forward, move the right lever back toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.

These models are powered by Kawasaki engines, renowned for their reliability and performance, ensuring users can tackle tough mowing tasks with ease.

The FR27KC boasts a powerful 27-horsepower engine, making it ideal for larger properties and demanding landscapes. Its robust design and high torque output allow it to handle thicker grasses and challenging terrains effectively. This model features a 60-inch UltraCut deck, which offers superior cutting performance and striping ability. The deck is designed with a unique airflow system that ensures clippings are discharged evenly, promoting a clean and professional look.

In contrast, the FR23KC features a slightly smaller engine with 23 horsepower. This model is perfect for mid-sized lawns and provides a balance of power and maneuverability. It is equipped with a 52-inch deck, allowing for quick and efficient mowing. The FR23KC also comes with Exmark's patented mulching capability, which not only recycles grass clippings but also enhances soil health by returning nutrients to the ground.

The FR20KC is the entry-level model in this range, featuring a 20-horsepower engine. Despite its smaller size, the FR20KC packs a punch with its 48-inch cutting deck, making it suitable for residential properties or smaller commercial tasks. This model emphasizes user comfort with adjustable seating and easy-to-reach controls, making it accessible for users of all skill levels.

All three models share advanced features such as Exmark's patented Hydro-Drive system, which provides smooth and precise control over the mower's speed and direction, enhancing maneuverability. Additionally, they come with heavy-duty components, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding conditions. Ergonomics has been a significant consideration in these designs, with padded seat options and intuitive control layouts that reduce operator fatigue.
