Features & Controls
Engine On/Starter
Rotate this key switch to the ON position before pulling
on the starter rope.
If the mower is equipped with the optional electric start-
ing system, rotate the key past the ON position to
engage the starter. When the engine starts, release the
key.
Throttle Control
The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle to
the right to increase engine speed, and to the left to
lower engine speed. When mowing, always operate the
engine at FULL throttle.
To set the choke for starting a cold engine, move the
throttle lever past the FULL speed position. As soon as
the engine starts, move the control to the FULL position.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of
individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mow-
ing require the combined use of several controls applied
in specific sequences. To learn what combination and
sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the
OPERATION section.
Fuel Tank
To remove cap, turn counterclockwise (CCW). To open
the fuel valve, located at the botton of the tank, turn knob
CCW.
PTO Engagement Lever
The PTO Engagement Lever engages and disengages
the mower blade. To engage the mower blade push the
lever forward to the fully engaged and locked position.
To disengage the mower blade push the lever out of the
locked position, slightly to the left and pull backwards to
the disengaged position.
When the PTO engagement lever is in the Engaged
position, the Engine Kill system is activated.
Engine Kill Bar
This control deactivates the engine kill system. With the
PTO Engagement Lever in the Engaged position, the
Engine Kill system will shut the engine off if the opera-
tors' hands leave the handle bar, releasing the Engine
Kill Bar.
Traction Drive Engagement Bar
Two hand grips, Forward Travel and Reverse Travel, are
within easy reach of the main handle bar. The traction
drive engagement bar to the front of the main handle
engages reverse travel. The traction drive engagement
bar below the main handle engages forward travel.
Please take a moment and familiarize yourself with
the name, location, and function of these controls so
that you will better understand the safety and operat-
ing instructions provided in this manual.
