NOTE: Once the engine has been stopped, the forward speed
control lever must be returned to the NEUTRAL position, the
parking brake should be engaged, the operator presence
handles should be depressed and the PTO switch should be in
the OFF position in order to start the engine.
WARNING
If the unit does not pass a safety test, do NOT operate it. See
your authorized dealer. Under no circumstance should you
attempt to defeat the purpose of the safety interlock system.
Features and Controls
Control Locations & Functions
The information below briefly describes the function of individual
controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing 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

Operator Presence Handles: These handles are a major factor
in the safety interlock system of the mower. Both handles are
tied together so depressing one handle depresses both. The
operator must depress the handles in order to activate the PTO
(Power Take Off) switch.
If the operator presence handles are released and the forward
speed control lever is in the NEUTRAL position and the PTO
switch is engaged, the mower blades will stop, but the engine
will remain running.
If the operator presence handles are released and the forward
speed control lever is NOT in the NEUTRAL position, the engine
will stop (with or without the PTO engaged).
Forward Speed Control Lever / Drive Levers: These levers
control the ground speed and direction of travel of the mower.

The forward speed control lever controls the forward ground
speed of both drive wheels. The forward speed control lever
cannot be moved forward out of the NEUTRAL position if the
parking brake lever is engaged.
The left drive lever controls the steering and reverse ground
speed of the left drive wheel. The right drive lever controls the
steering and reverse ground speed of the right drive wheel.
Squeeze both reverse speed control levers evenly to move in
reverse.
See the Driving the Mower section for proper steering
instructions.
Hour Meter: The hour meter measures the number of
hours the PTO has been engaged. The hour meter has a self
contained power source so the total hours are always visible.
