Throttle Control
The throttle control is variable between Fast and Slow.
Moving throttle lever forward will increase engine speed and
moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed
(
Figure 5 ).
Blade-Control Switch (Power Take-off)
The blade-control switch, (PTO), engages and disengages
power to the mower blades (
Figure 5 ).
Fuel-Presence Window
The fuel window located on the left-hand side of the machine,
can be used to verify the presence of gasoline in the tank
(
Figure 6 ).
Height-of-Cut Lever
The height-of-cut lever allows you to lower and raise the deck
from the seated position. When you raise the lever (toward
you), the deck is raised from the ground, and when you
lower it (away from you), it lowers to the ground. Adjust the
height-of-cut only while the machine is not moving (
Figure
15 ).
Key Choice ® Switch
This switch allows you to mow in reverse when it is activated.
To activate it, turn the switch to on and release it after the
PTO is engaged. To deactivate it, disengage the power
take-off (PTO) (
Figure 6 ).
Operating-in-Reverse Warning Light
The Operating–in–Reverse warning light will illuminate
whenever the KeyChoice key is used to deactivate the
operating–in–reverse interlock. It is a reminder that the
interlock system is deactivated. The light goes out whenever
the PTO is disengaged or the engine is shut off. When the
light is on, look behind and use extra caution when backing.
SmartPark ™ Switch
The parking brake is activated electronically.
Engage the parking brake by one of the following actions:
•
Pressing the SmartPark ™ switch to the On position
( Figure 5 ).
•
The parking brake engages automatically when the
operator leaves the seat and the traction control pedal
is in neutral position.
•
The parking brake automatically engages 5 to 6 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned to the Off position (if
not already engaged).
To disengage the parking brake, press the Smartpark switch
to the Off position with the key in the run position.
Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of hours when the
operator is in the seat and the ignition switch is in the ON
position (
