Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped-this drains the battery.
Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The left
lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right lever
controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of
the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases
the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section for steering
instructions.
Headlight
The headlight switch turns the headlights on and off.
Hour Meter / Maintenance Reminder
Measures the time of the PTO being engaged. The hour
meter measures the number of hours the PTO has been
engaged. The hour meter will flash an initial oil change
indicator at 5 hours, and a lubrication reminder every 50
hours. These reminders display for approximately two
hours and will automatically reset themselves.
Note: The hour meter will register the passage of time
only when the PTO is engaged. The hour meter has a
self contained power source so the total hours are always
visible.
Fuel Tank Cap
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.
Fuel Level Gauge
Displays the fuel level in the tank.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever
towards the left, position the seat as desired, and release
the lever to lock the seat in position.
Retractable Seat Belt
The seat belt is used to secure the operator to the seat.
The seat belt should always be worn when the Roll Bar is
in the raised position. The seat belt should never be worn
when the Roll Bar is in the down position.
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
