Engine Cover/Operator Seat Pan
WARNING!
Always clean the entire engine area and deck area of any excess grease, oil, fuel, or
debris to prevent damage to the equipment, fire hazard, and projectile hazards!
In order to fully access the mower deck, many of the drive components or controls, or the engine
area, you will need to open the operator seat pan or the engine cover:
Operator seat pan: (Prior to Serial Number 1434004) Release the pins located at the rear corners
of the operator’s seat. Pull up and forward until the travel is stopped by the pan. This is slightly
beyond the vertical position.
(After Serial number 1431004) Lift up the spring-loaded tabs at the rear of the pan to clear the stop
guards on the frame. Pull up and forward until the travel is stopped by the pan. This is slightly
beyond the vertical position.
Engine cover (hood): Release the two fasteners located at the top front of the engine cover. Lift
the cover back all the way until the hinge bars stop the travel, holding the cover in the open
position.
Clean the entire engine area (under the engine cover) and mower deck area (under the operator
seat pan) of all excess grease, oil, fuel, grass, or debris before operating the Lastec Mower. This
will help prevent damage to the equipment, fire hazard, and projectile hazards.
Be sure both the operator seat pan and engine cover are closed, latched, and secure.

Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve is located behind the operator seat
and to the right. This valve allows you to select which fuel
tank you will be using at the time of operation. Be sure the
fuel shut-off valve is in the ON position (pointing in the
direction of either the left or right fuel tank) prior to
attempting to start the engine.
