3. STARTING THE ENGINE
The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all
tractor controls before starting the engine. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized
dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed.
Diesel Engine Starting:
• Observe all Safety Instructions.
• Locate the ignition key/switch
• Locate the engine shut off control
• Ensure machine is in the open air and not in an enclosed environment.
• Check fuel level and replenish if required.
• Turn ignition key on the machine clockwise to the first position; pre-heat plug light on the ignition panel will
illuminate -
wait until light goes out before continuing.
Note: When the ignition key is turned to the first position the machine will perform a sequence of system
checks during which time lights on the control panel will be lit or flashing, when the check is complete
these lights will stay lit.
• Stand away from the mower and press the Start Switch on the Controller (Green Button). Hold until the
horn honks. When this happens, the controller & receiver are connected.
• Press start button to start mower.
Never bypass the ignition switch by short-circuiting the starter solenoid. OPS-RC-0001
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

4. LINKING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT TO MACHINE
To operate the machine remotely the control unit must first be ‘linked’ to the machine so that command signals
can be transmitted and received; the procedure is as follows;
Note: The Controller and the Mower are matched set.
• The Controller is uniquely programmed to communicate with only one Mower power unit at a time and will
link up with only that one unique Mower Power Unit.
• This will allow multiple mowers to operate in a area without interfering with each others Controller Signal.
• A decal located on the controller just below the operator belt provides the last 3 Serial Numbers of the
matching Mower Power unit.
Note: Ignition key must either be turned to the pre-starting position or the engine running to allow the
remote control to link to the machine.
• Turn on the control unit by rotating the Emergency Stop Switch clockwise - the button will ‘Spring Out’ to
the ON position.
• Press and hold the horn button down - the unit will search for the machine’s transmitter and lock onto the
signal. the horn will sound to confirm that the units are linked. Release the horn button as soon as the
confirmation sound is received
.
• If not already running, the machine can now be started by operation of the start button on the remote
controls (refer to controls section) -
release button as soon as the engine starts.
Note: If the engine fails to start within 5 seconds release the button and wait for a minute or so before
trying again. OPS-RC-0002
