Operation

3.Push in (down) on the PTO switch to the “disengage” position.

4.Place the throttle midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions.

5.On a cold engine, push the choke lever forward into the “ON” position (except Kohler EFI units).

On a warm engine, leave the choke in the “OFF” position.

6.Turn ignition switch to the “START” position. Release the switch as soon as the engine starts.

Important: Do Not crank the engine continuously for more than ten seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60 second cool-down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out the starter motor.

7.If the choke is in the “ON” position, gradually return choke to the “OFF” position as the engine warms up.

PTO Engagement

DANGER

The rotating blades under the mower deck are dangerous. Blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you.

Do Not put hands or feet under the mower or mower deck when the blades are engaged.

DANGER

An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects to be thrown in an operator’s or bystander’s direction. Also, contact with the blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious injury or death.

Never operate the mower with the discharge deflector raised, removed, or altered unless there is a grass collection system or mulch kit in place and working properly.

The PTO switch engages the cutting blades. Be sure all persons are clear of mower deck and discharge area before engaging the PTO.

1.Set throttle to “MIDWAY” position.

2.Release the parking brake.

3.Move the right side motion control lever to the center, operate position.

4.Continue holding the right side motion control lever in the center, operate position and pull up on the blade control switch (PTO) and release.

The clutch should engage and the mower blades begin rotating.

5.Place the throttle in the “FAST” position to begin mowing.

Disengaging the PTO

1.Set the throttle midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions.

2.Push down on the PTO switch to disengage the blades.

Note: The PTO will be disengaged by releasing the right side motion control lever and allowing it to spring outward to the PTO disengage position. The PTO will not re-engage when the RH motion control lever is moved out of the PTO disengage position without pulling up on the PTO switch.

To fully disengage the PTO, continue to push the switch downward.

Stopping the Engine

1.Bring the unit to a full stop.

2.Move the motion control levers to the neutral position; move the RH control lever out to the PTO disengage position.

5.Engage the parking brake.

6.Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 15 seconds, then turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position to stop the engine.
