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).

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge is located with the hour meter and the
bars light up when the ignition switch is on (Figure 5).

The indicator light appears when the fuel level is low
(approximately one gallon remaining in the fuel tank).

Safety Interlock Indicators

There are symbols on the hour meter and the indicate
with a black triangle that the interlock component is in
the correct position (Figure 5).

Battery Indicator Light

When the ignition key is initially turned to the

Run

position for a few seconds, the battery voltage will be
displayed in the area where the hours are normally
displayed.

The battery light turns on when the ignition is turned
on and when the charge is below the correct operating
level (Figure 5).

Throttle Control

The throttle control is variable between

Fast

and

Slow

.

Choke

Use the choke to start a cold engine. Pull the choke
knob up to engage it.

Blade Control Switch (PTO)

The blade control switch (PTO) is used to engage the
electric clutch and drive the mower blades. Pull the
switch up to engage the blades and release. To disengage
the blades, push the blade control switch (PTO) down
or move a motion control lever into the neutral lock
position.

Ignition Switch

This switch is used to start the mower engine and has
three positions:

Start, Run

and

Off

.

Motion Control Levers

The motion control levers are used to drive the machine
forward, reverse, and turn either direction.

Neutral Lock Position

The neutral lock position is used with the safety interlock
system and to determine neutral position.

Fuel Shut-off Valve

Close the fuel shut-off valve (under the seat) when
transporting or storing the mower.
