4.OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1Controls

4.1.1Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers: Located on the upper handle assembly directly above the handle grips. When these levers are depressed, the OPC system senses that the operator is in the normal operator's position. When the levers are released, the OPC system senses that the operator has moved from the normal operating position and will kill the engine if either the speed control lever is not in the neutral position or the blade clutch is engaged.

4.1.2Speed Control Lever: Located in middle of control console, it controls the maximum forward speed and is infinitely variable from neutral (0 mph) to 6.2 mph.

4.1.3Drive Levers: Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly below the handle grips (See Figure 7). These levers individually control the speed and direction of each drive wheel. When the speed control lever is moved out of the neutral position and the neutral lock latches are moved into the drive position, as shown in Figure 7, and the drive levers are released, the drive wheels are engaged in the forward direction.

Squeezing the left hand and/or right hand lever causes the left hand and/or right hand drive wheel respectively to slow down, stop, or reverse, depending on how far each drive lever is "squeezed". Squeezing the drive levers beyond the neutral position causes the drive wheels to engage in the reverse direction regardless of the position of the neutral lock latches and the speed control lever.

4.1.4Neutral Lock Latch: Located directly above the drive levers. These latches allow the operator to lock the drive levers in a "neutral" position where neither of the drive wheels are engaged in either a forward or reverse direction (See Figure 7).

4.1.5PTO 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.

4.1.6Choke Control: Choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine.

The choke control is located on the front left corner of the fuel tank support and is activated by pulling the control outward.

Once the engine has started move the choke control to the off position and move the throttle to the medium or full throttle position.
