Parking Brake Handle

The parking brake is released by pushing DOWN on the parking brake handle until it stops. To engage the parking brake, pull UP on the handle until it locks over center.

Engine Kill/Operator Presence

Handles

These handles are a major factor in the safety interlock system of the mower. The handles are not tied together, but the safety switches are, so depressing one handle will operate the safety interlock system. The operator must depress the handles in order to deactivate the engine kill system. Handles must be depressed to disengage the parking brake and engage the PTO switch.

Throttle Control

The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.

Choke

Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require choking. Pull the knob UP to close the choke. Push to knob DOWN to open the choke.

Neutral Return Pedal

The neutral return pedal provides a hands-free return to neutral. This is used in conjunction with the Reverse Speed Control Levers (B) to properly stop the machine.

See the Operation section for steering instructions.

Fuel Tank Cap

To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.

Cutting Height Adjust Handle

The Cutting height adjust handle controls the mower cutting height. To adjust the mower cutting height, turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the cutting height. Turn the crank handle counterclockwise to lower the cutting height.
