Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position) and PTO switch “OFF” to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to be in the seat to start the engine.)

4.1.9Hour Meter: Located on the right fuel tank.

The hour meter is connected to a pressure switch installed in the engine block and it records the number of hours that the engine has run. If ignition switch is left on without engine running, hour meter will not run.

NOTE: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not alert the operator if the engine oil is low.

4.1.10Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Located directly below center of console.

The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the fuel when the machine will not be used for a few days, during transport to and from the jobsite, and when parked inside a building. The valve has three positions, each position made in 1/4 turn increments.

Valve handle down is the “OFF” position. Rotate valve handle 1/4 turn right (from “Off” position) for fuel flow from the right tank. Rotate valve handle 1/4 turn left (from “Off” position) for fuel flow from the left tank.

4.1.11Fuel Gauge: Located on the left fuel tank.

The fuel gauge monitors the amount of fuel in the left tank only. Use the fuel from the right fuel tank first. When the right fuel tank is empty switch to the left fuel tank. Fuel gauge will monitor the remaining fuel.

4.1.12Drive Wheel Release Valves: Located on the right front corner of the hydrostatic pumps. Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydrostatic drive system to allow the machine to be pushed without the engine running. Unhook seat latch and tilt seat up to gain access to pumps.

With a 5/8 wrench, turn both valves one turn counter-clockwise to release drive system.

Turn clockwise to reset system. DO NOT overtighten. DO NOT tow machine.

4.2PRE-START

4.2.1Fill fuel tanks. For best results use only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Regular grade leaded gasoline may also be used; however, combustion chamber and cylinder head will require more frequent service. See Engine Owner's Manual. DO NOT add oil to gasoline.

Do Not overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.

4.2.2Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their safety requirements.

4.2.3Refer to Maintenance, Section 5, and perform all the necessary inspection and maintenance steps.

4.3MOWING

4.3.1Operate units with the roll bar in the raised and locked position and use seat belt. There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down. If it is necessary to lower roll bar do not wear the seat belt. Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.

4.3.2Open fuel shut-off valve (left or right tank).
