Switch switch up and to disengage push the switch down.
NOTE: The PTO Switch should only be engaged when
the engine is running and the steering levers are in
the Neutral position. The Zero Turn Mower will not

the Zero Turn Mower. It must always be in the OFF
(Down) position to start.
The Fuel Tank is located under the operators seat and
the Filler Neck is located on the left hand side toward the
rear of the seat. The Fuel Cap is tettered to the tank to
avoid dropping when refueling the Zero Turn Mower.
Gasoline is highly flammable. The en-
gine and exhaust system become
very hot during operation.
Allow engine and exhaust system to cool down before re-
fueling the Zero Turn Mower.
Use CAUTION and only fill outdoors.
Fill to the bottom of the filler neck (DO NOT OVER FILL).
Do not fuel the Zero Turn Mower near an open flame.
Clean away any spilled fuel after re-fueling and before
re-starting the Zero Turn Mower.
Check the gas fill cap often for damage to gasket. If dam-
aged replace the fill cap.
The engine is designed to operate on 87 Octane un-
leaded gasoline.
Damage to the engine may occur if E85 Alcohol based
fuel or Methanol fuel is used.

Knob. Push the Foot Control Pedal all the way forward
to lock the deck in the lockout position. Adjust the Height
Control Knob to the desired cutting height by aligning the
indicator point on the panel. To position the deck at the
set cutting height, push the Foot Control Pedal forward
while pulling back on the Transport Locking Lever and
