Control Panel
IMPORTANT: When access is required under the seat plat-
form and the seat is equipped with the optional arm rests, make
certain to place the control arms in the park brake position and
pivot the arm rests upward before placing the seat platform in
the full forward position to prevent arm rest damage.

the deck. Pull the switch up to engage and push switch
down to disengage the clutch.
IMPORTANT: For additional clutch information refer
to the Mower deck operation section of this manual.
B. Ignition switch (Figure 3-1) — a three position switch:
“OFF”, “RUN”, and “START”. With key inserted, rotate
it clockwise to “START” position; release key when
engine starts, and switch will automatically return to the
RUN position.
C. Throttle control (Figure 3-1) — a cable is linked to the
engine throttle for controlling engine speed. Move lever
forward to increase engine rpm, move lever rearward to
decrease engine rpm.
D. Choke control (Figure 3-1) — a cable is linked to
manually operate the engine choke. When the lever is in
the down position, the choke is in the “OFF” (run)
position. When the knob is pulled up, the choke is in the
“ON” (start) position.
Do not operate the machine in the
“ON” (start) position.
E. Electronic hour meter (Figure 3-1) — registers 1/10
hour increments up to 9,999.9 total hours. Connected to
the ignition switch, the meter records the accumulative
time while the ignition key is switched to the RUN
position.
Controls

accelerate, decelerate and change direction. When the
steering control levers are in the park brake position the
mower will not move when the engine is on and drive
pumps are operating
