Engine Stop Lever
Release the engine stop lever (A, Figure 11) and the engine
and the blade will automatically stop. To run the engine, hold
the engine stop lever in the Operating position (B).
Before you start the engine, operate the engine stop lever
several times. Make sure the cable moves easily.
Front Wheel Drive System
(Self-Propelled Units Only)
The mower has a front wheel drive system. Operate the drive
system as follows.
1. Hold the engine stop lever (A, Figure 11) in the
Operating Position (B).
2. Pull the drive lever (A, Figure 12) completely back. The
drive system is now engaged.
3. To disengage the drive system and stop the engine,
completely release the engine stop lever.
4. To disengage only the drive system, release the drive
lever. The drive system will disengage but the engine
will continue to run.
Note: When the drive system is disengaged on a new unit, it
is possible for the front wheels to rotate if lifted off the
ground. This is normal and will stop after one or two hours
of operation.
WARNING: For safe operation, the drive system
must immediately disengage when the drive
lever is released. If the drive system does not
disengage correctly, do not operate the mower
until the drive system is adjusted or repaired by
an authorized service center.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, release the engine stop lever. Disconnect
the wire from the spark plug to prevent the engine from
starting.
Before you start the engine, check the engine stop cable.
Make sure the engine stop cable is assembled correctly.
Before you operate the unit, replace a bent or damaged
engine stop cable.
