3. Rotate both locking pins into the LOCKED
position. Move the upper ROPS slightly until
the locking pins are fully engaged in the
LOCKED position.
Fuel Gauge(s)
There is a fuel gauge on top of each
of the two fuel tanks or a single
gauge to the right of the operator’s
seat on the RH console. The gauges
measure the fuel level in each tank.
Fuel Valves
The fuel valves are located near
the rear of each fuel tank. The
valve controls the fuel flow from
the right and left tank and also
can shut off fuel flow to the engine. Rotate the
valve counter-clockwise to open the flow from the
tank(s). Rotate the valve clockwise to stop the flow
from the tank(s). The fuel tanks can be operated
together, independently or shut the fuel flow off
completely.
Note:
If both tanks are on, and one is empty the
engine will not start. Be certain to make sure both
tanks have fuel or that the empty tank’s fuel valve
is closed.

Volt Accessories Receptacles
The receptacles for optional accessories are on the
RH console. See the Attachments & Accessories
section for information.
Before Operating Your Machine
1. Before you operate the tractor, study this
manual carefully to familiarize yourself
with the operation of all the instruments
and controls. It has been prepared to
help you operate and maintain your
machine efficiently.
2. Fill the fuel tank with only clean, fresh,
unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker
octane rating of 87 or higher. When the fuel
reaches 1/2” below the bottom of the fill
neck, stop. DO NOT OVERFILL. Space must
be left for expansion.
3. Never use gasoline containing more than
10% ethanol or methanol.
4. Check the engine oil level as instructed in
the Engine Operator’s manual.
5. Check the transmission oil level. The
transmission oil expansion reservoir is
located beneath the operator’s seat. Always
wipe off the area around the reservoir fill
neck before checking the oil level to prevent
dirt from contaminating the oil. Remove the
cap and make sure the oil level is 1/4” above
the bottom of the reservoir. If the oil level is
low, fill with Castrol™ (Syntec®) Edge™.
6. Check the tire inflation pressures. 10- 12 psi
for the rear tires, 20-25 psi for the front tires.
Note:
New tires are over-inflated in order to
properly seat the bead to the rim.
7. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
8. Check the tension of the deck drive belts.
a. Remove the deck cover.
b. The tension of the deck drive belts are
maintained by a spring mechanism
that adjusts for wear and stretch.
c. Examine the belts for cuts, fraying,
and excessive wear. Replace if any of
these are detected.
d. Replace the deck cover.
9. Check if deck is level. When correctly
adjusted the mower deck should be level
side to side, and the front of the deck should
be approximately 1/4” lower than the rear
of deck. If deck needs to be leveled, refer to
the Product Care section.
10. Lubricate all pivot points listed in the
Product Care section.
11. Adjust the seat for operator’s maximum
comfort, visibility and for maintaining
complete control of the machine. Refer
to the Assembly & Set-Up section for
instructions on adjusting the seat.
Safety Interlock System
This machine is equipped with a safety interlock
system for the protection of the operator. If the
interlock system should ever malfunction, do not
operate the machine. Contact your authorized
service dealer.
•
The safety interlock system will prevent the
engine from cranking or starting unless the
RH and LH drive control levers are moved fully
outward in the neutral position, the parking
brake is engaged and the PTO is disengaged.
• To avoid sudden movement when
disengaging the parking brake, the safety
interlock system will shut off the engine if
the RH and/or LH drive control levers are
moved to a position other than fully out in
the neutral position when the parking brake
is engaged.
• The safety interlock system will shut off the
engine if the operator leaves the seat before
engaging the parking brake.
• The safety interlock system will shut off the
engine if the operator leaves the seat with
the PTO engaged, regardless of whether the
parking brake is engaged.
Note: The PTO must be disengaged to restart
the engine.
Starting the Engine
For throttle/choke or throttle/automatic EFI
engines proceed below, for electronic throttle/EFI
engines, skip ahead to the Electronic Throttle/EFI
(Electronic Fuel Injection) Engines section.
Manual Throttle/Choke or Throttle/Automatic EFI
(Electronic Fuel Injection) Engines
WARNING
This machine is equipped with a safety interlock system designed
for protection of the operator. Do not operate the machine if any
part of the interlock system is malfunctioning. Periodically check
the functions of the interlock system for proper operation.
WARNING
For personal safety, the operator must be sitting in the
tractor seat when starting the engine.
1. Open the fuel valve(s).
Note: If both tanks are on, and one is empty
the engine will not start. Be certain to make
sure both tanks have fuel or that the empty
tank’s fuel valve is closed.
2. Operator must be sitting in the tractor seat
with both drive control levers in the neutral/
start position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Make certain the PTO is in the disengaged
(down) position.
5. Lift the choke knob (if equipped) into the
ON position.
Note:
If the engine is warmed up, it may not
be necessary to choke the engine.
Note:
Some tractors are equipped with EFI
(Electronic Fuel Injection) engines and are
not equipped with a choke.
6. Move the throttle control to midway between
the SLOW and FAST positions.
7. Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START
position and release it as soon as the engine
starts; however, do not crank the engine
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start within this
time, turn the key to OFF and wait at least 30
seconds to allow the engine’s starter motor
to cool. Try again after waiting. If after a few
attempts the engine fails to start, do not
keep trying to start it with the choke closed
as this will cause flooding and make starting
more difficult.
8. Once the engine starts, push the choke (if
equipped) halfway down and as the engine
warms, push the choke (if equipped) all the
way down.
Electronic Throttle(E-Governor)/EFI (Electronic
Fuel Injection) Engines
1. Open the fuel valve(s).
Note:
If both tanks are on, and one is empty
the engine will not start. Be certain to make
sure both tanks have fuel or that the empty
tank’s fuel valve is closed.
Note:
To prime a dry fuel system, turn the
ignition switch to the ON position for one
minute. Allow the fuel pump to cycle and
prime the system. Turn the ignition switch
to the OFF position.
2. Operator must be sitting in the tractor seat
with both drive control levers in the neutral/
start position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Make certain the PTO is in the disengaged
(down) position.
5. Place the Electronic Throttle knob in the
START position.
6. Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START
position and release it as soon as the engine
starts; however, do not crank the engine
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start within this
time, turn the key to OFF and wait at least 60
seconds to allow the engine’s starter motor
to cool. Try again after waiting.
Note:
Failure to follow these guidelines can
burn out the starter motor.
