OPERATING

Starting Engine

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.

Move the machine to an outside area before running the engine.

Do not run an engine in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.

Connect a pipe extension to the engine exhaust pipe to direct the exhaust fumes out of the area.

Allow fresh outside air into the work area to clear the exhaust fumes out.

1.Stand on operator’s platform.

2.Lock park brake.

3.Put motion control levers (A) in the NEUTRAL position.

4.Push PTO switch knob (B) down to disengage PTO.

5.Move throttle lever (C) to set engine speed at the 1/2 to 3/4 fast position.

6.Position choke knob (D):

Cold engine: Pull knob up to the CHOKE position.

Warm/Hot engine: If necessary, pull knob up to the CHOKE position.

7.Turn key switch (E) to the START position.

8.Release key to the RUN position when engine starts.

9.With engine started:

Push choke knob to the OFF position.

Move throttle lever to the FAST position.

Unlock park brake.

Engaging Mower

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Clear mowing area of all bystanders when operating this machine. Thrown objects could cause serious injury or death.

Keep hands and feet away from blades and discharge opening.

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! To help prevent damage to PTO clutch:

Do not engage PTO with throttle in the fast position.

1.Adjust mower deck to desired cutting height.

2.Start engine.

3.Move throttle lever (A) to the 1/2 to 3/4 fast position.

4.Unlock park brake.

NOTE: In cold weather or with a new machine, allow engine to reach operating temperature before engaging PTO to prevent engine from stalling.

5.Pull PTO knob (B) up to engage mower deck.

6.Move throttle lever to the fast position (C).

NOTE: The travel speed and turn rate will vary with the amount that the motion control levers are moved.

7.Push motion control levers (D) forward slowly. Mow at a safe travel speed.

Stopping the Engine

c

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! To help prevent engine backfiring, throttle lever should be set at the half-speed position prior to stopping the engine.

Do not stop engine when mower is on a slope of more than 30 degrees for an extended period of time. Oil may run through valve train into carburetor and muffler.

1.Lock park brake.

2.Reduce engine speed to half-throttle.

3.Turn key switch to STOP position (C).

4.Remove key.

Using Pump Free-Wheel Valves

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! With the free-wheeling valve open, the machine will have unrestricted motion.

The machine may free-wheel out of control if the free- wheeling valve is opened with the machine on an incline.

Park the machine on a level surface before opening the free-wheeling valve.
