ATTACHMENTS

This unit can use many different attachments. See the attachment

page in this book. This unit can pull attachments like a lawn

sweeper, a lawn aerator, a hopper spreader or a small trailer. This

unit can not use attachments that engage the ground like a plow, a

disk harrow, or a cultivator.
For all pull

behind attachments or trailers, the maximum gross

weight is 250 pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the attachment

or trailer and any load that might be on or in it.

Do not operate on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees when

using a pull

behind attachment or trailer. We have included a slope

guide in this book to help you determine the slope on which you will

be operating your unit. Never allow someone to stand or ride on or

in an attachment or trailer.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM

The electrical system has three primary components; an Operator

Presence System, a Select Reverse

t

 System, and a Run-Mow

System.

Operator Presence System (Seat)

The seat has an Operator Presence System to shut off the engine

when the operator leaves the seat. This system is not intended for

regular use in stopping the engine or the blade(s). Before leaving the

seat, move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position,

shift to neutral, set the parking brake and stop the engine.

Select Reverse

t

 System

The 

Select Reverse

t

 system will allow the mower blade(s) to

continue to rotate when traveling in reverse. See “How To Operate

The Ignition Key Switch” and “How To Start The Engine” for further

details.

How To Check The Safety Interlock Switches

To check the function of the safety interlock switches, follow the

steps below.

1.

Check the 

blade rotation control

 

switch.

 Sit in the seat. De-

press the clutch/brake pedal. Move the blade rotation control to
the ENGAGE position. Turn the ignition switch to the START
position. The engine should not start.  If the engine starts, the
switch is defective and must be replaced.

2.

Check the 

clutch/brake switch.

  Sit in the seat.  Move the

blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position. 

DO NOT

depress the clutch/brake pedal.  Turn the ignition switch to the
START position. The engine should not start.  If the engine
starts, the switch is defective and must be replaced.

3.

Check the 

Operator Presence System switch.

  

DO NOT 

sit

in the seat.  Depress the clutch/brake pedal. Move the 

blade

rotation control

 to the DISENGAGE position. Turn the ignition

switch to the START position. The engine should not start.  If
the engine starts, the switch is defective and must be replaced.

4.

Check the 

Select Reverse

t

 switch. 

Sit in the seat. Depress

the clutch/brake pedal. Move the blade rotation control to the
DISENGAGE position. Start the engine and move the drive
control to the reverse (R) position. With the engine running,
move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE position.  The
engine should stop running. If the engine continues to run, the

Select Reverse

t

 switch

 is defective and must be replaced.

HOW TO OPERATE THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH

 

Use the ignition key switch to start and stop the engine. When you

start the engine and release the ignition key, the ignition key switch

will automatically default to the recommended RUN

MOW position

for normal mowing.

START 

 

Use this position to start the engine.

RUN-MOW 

 

When you start the engine and release the ignition

key, the ignition key switch will automatically default to the

recommended 

RUN-MOW 

position for normal mowing. In the

RUN-MOW 

position, the system will stop the engine and the

blade(s) when the speed control pedal/shift lever is put in the

reverse position.

SELECT REVERSE

t

 

 

The optional 

Select Reverse

t

position will allow the mower blade(s) to continue to rotate when

traveling in reverse. Always go back to the recommended

RUN-MOW position for normal mowing when operation in 

Select

Reverse

t

 

is not absolutely necessary. NEVER use the 

Select

Reverse

t

 

option if children are on or near the property.

WARNING: Operators are strongly discouraged

from using this option unless the operator de-

cides such operation is absolutely necessary and

that safe precautions are taken. Never use the Select Re-

verse

t

 option if children are on or near the property. Always

look down and behind before and while backing. After using

the Select Reverse

t

 position, move the ignition key back to

the RUN-MOW position.

STOP 

 

Use this position to stop the engine.
