Operation
When going forward, if you rapidly pull the motion control
levers to the middle T-slot position and push them out, it may
cause the parking brake to lock.
• If the parking brake is locked, it may cause the machine not to
move when trying to go forward again or rotate at high speed.
• Operator may lose control of the machine, which may cause
damage to the machine or injury.
• To go forward, pull the motion control levers to the middle
position until the machine stops, then push the motion control
levers to the parking brake position.
• When the parking brake is locked, pull the motion control
levers to the reverse position slowly, then the locked parking
brake device will be released.
Mowing
The PTO clutch push-pull switch engages the cutting blades.
Be sure that people and animals are clear of the mower deck and
discharge area before engaging the PTO switch.
NOTE: Operator must be in seat before the PTO can be
engaged.
Set throttle to midway position. Pull outward on the PTO switch
to the ROTATE position. Accelerate to full throttle to begin
mowing.
Stopping PTO: Bring unit to a full stop. Move motion control
levers to the neutral lock position and engage parking brake. Set
the throttle to the “midway” position, push in on the switch to
the STOP position and stop the PTO.
