Choke Control
Use the choke control to start a cold engine. Pull the choke
control up to engage it. Push down on the choke control to
disengage it.
Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of hours the engine has
operated. It operates when the engine is running. Use these
times for scheduling regular maintenance (
Figure 5 ).
Motion-Control Levers
The motion-control levers are speed-sensitive controls of
independent wheel motors. Moving a lever forward or
backward turns the wheel on the same side forward or
in reverse; wheel speed is proportional to the amount the
lever is moved. Move the control levers outward from the
center to the N
EUTRAL
-L
OCK
position and exit the machine
( Figure 4 ). Always position the motion-control levers into
the N
EUTRAL
-L
OCK
position when you stop the machine
or leave it unattended.
Parking-Brake Lever
The parking-brake lever is located on left side of the console
(
Figure 4 ). The brake lever engages a parking brake on the
drive wheels.
To engage the parking brake, pull up the lever until it latches
into the detent slot.
To disengage the parking brake, pull the lever out of the
detent slot and toward you, then push it down.
Foot Pedal Deck-Lift System
The foot pedal deck-lift system allows you to lower and raise
the deck from the seated position. You can use the foot pedal
to lift the deck briefly to avoid obstacles or lock the deck in
the highest height of cut or transport position (
Figure 4 ).
Smart Speed
™
Control System Lever
The Smart Speed™ Control-System lever, located below the
operating position, gives you a choice to drive the machine at
3 speed ranges— trim, tow, and mow (
Figure 26 ).
12 V Power Point
Use the power point to power 12 V accessories ( Figure 5 ).
Important:
When not using the 12 V power point, insert
the rubber plug to prevent damage to the power point.
Ignition Switch

S
TART

Blade-Control Switch (Power Takeoff)
The blade-control switch (PTO) engages and disengages
power to the mower blades (
Figure 5 ).
Height-of-Cut Lever
The height-of-cut lever works with the foot pedal to lock the
deck in a specific cutting height. Only adjust the height of cut
while machine is not moving (
Figure 4 ).
