Levers

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

disengage the drive belt to drive the mower blades
with the OPC levers pressed against the handles. Pull
the knob up to engage the blades and push down to
disengage the blades.
