Operating the Blades
The blade control switch, represented by a power
take-off (PTO) symbol, engages and disengages power
to the mower blades. This switch controls power to any
attachments that draw power from the engine, including
the mower deck and cutting blades.
Engaging the Blades
Important:
Do not engage the blades when
parked in tall grass. Belt or clutch damage can
occur.
1. Release pressure on the motion control levers and
place the machine in neutral.
2. Move the throttle to the Fast position.
Note:
Always engage the blades with the throttle
in the Fast position.
3. Pull up on the blade control switch to move it to
the On position and engage the blades (Figure 14).
