Slow .
Operator Presence Control (OPC)
Levers
When you squeeze the OPC levers against the
handles, the OPC system senses that the operator
is in the normal operating position. When you
release the OPC levers, the OPC system senses
that the operator has left the normal operating
position, and the system will stop the engine if
either the speed control lever is not in the
neutral
position or the blade control (PTO) switch is
engaged.
Blade Control Switch (PTO)
The blade control switch (PTO) is used to engage
and disengage the drive belt to drive the mower
blades with the OPC levers pressed against the
handles. Pull the switch up to engage the blades
and down to disengage the blades.
