Children or bystanders may be injured if they move
or attempt to operate the mower while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the parking
brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if
just for a few minutes.
Pushing the Machine by Hand
The machine can be pushed by hand without the
engine running if:
1. The dump valves are pulled and locked in the by-
pass position.
2. The parking brake lever is released.
Important: Always push the machine by hand.
Never tow the machine with another vehicle.
Hydraulic damage may occur.
Side Discharging or Mulching the Grass
This mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward the
turf.
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris. Contact with rotating
mower blade(s) and thrown debris can cause
injury or death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from the mower
because the grass deflector routes material down
toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.
•
Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear discharge area or mower blades
unless the blade engagement control lever (PTO) is
off and the ignition key is off. Also remove the key
and pull the wire(s) off the spark plug(s).
Operating the Deck Engagement Control (PTO)
The deck engagement control (PTO) is used in
conjunction with the Safety Interlock System to
engage and disengage the mower blades.
Engaging the Mower Blades (PTO)
1. To engage the mower blades, depress the left side
motion control lever.
2. Place the throttle control lever between Run and
Slow position.
3. Move the deck engagement control lever (PTO) up
and to the right while holding down the left side
motion control lever.
4. Move throttle control lever to Run position.
Disengaging the Mower Blades (PTO)
Move the deck engagement control lever (PTO) up
and to the left, then down to the Off position.
The Safety Interlock System
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged, the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
•
Do Not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches daily
and replace any damaged switches before operating
the machine.
Understanding the Safety Interlock Systems
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent
the mower blades from rotating unless:
• The left motion control lever is pressed down.
• The blade engagement control lever (PTO) is
moved to the On position.
The safety interlock system is designed to stop the
engine if you release the left motion control lever
with the mower blades engaged.
The safety interlock system is designed not to allow
the engine to start unless the right motion control
lever is in the neutral position.
Testing the Safety Interlock System
Test the safety interlock system by testing the wheel
drive and blade drive systems before you use the
machine each time.
Wheel Drive System
Hold the right side motion control lever forward and
try to start engine. The engine should not start.
Blade Drive System
Start the engine.
Depress the left side motion control lever.
Continue holding the left side motion control lever in
the depressed position and move the blade
engagement control lever (PTO) to the ON position.
The clutch should engage and the mower blades
should begin rotating.
Release the left side motion control lever. The
engine should stop and blades should stop rotating.
Note: If the safety system does not operate as
described above, contact Better Outdoor Products™
