Position C
This is the full open position. The suggested use for this
position is as follows:
•
Use in tall, dense grass mowing conditions.
•
Use in wet conditions.
•
Use to lower the engine-power consumption.
•
Use to allow increased ground speed in heavy conditions.
•
This position offers benefits similar to those of the Toro
SFS mower.

Using the Drive-Wheel Release
Valves
WARNING
Hands may become entangled in the rotating drive
components below the engine deck, which could
result in serious injury.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow
all moving parts to stop before accessing the
drive-wheel release valves.
WARNING
The engine and hydraulic drive units can become
very hot. Touching a hot engine or hydraulic drive
units can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine and hydraulic drive units to cool
completely before accessing the drive-wheel release
valves.
The drive-wheel release valves are located in the back of each
hydraulic drive unit, under the seat.
Note:
Make sure that the release valves are in the fully
horizontal position when operating the machine or severe
damage to the hydraulic system can occur.
