OPERATING YOUR NEW ZERO TURN RIDER MOWER
CONTROLS
• OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM: This mower is equipped with an operator’s presence
system. Any attempt to leave the seated position with the engine running, without first
disengaging the PTO switch will cause the engine to shut off. Never get off the mower
without placing the steering levers in the neutral position.
WARNING: Do not operate the machine unless the Operator’s Presence System is
functioning as described.
•
PARKING BRAKE:
Always set the parking brake before starting. The parking brake is
located on the drivers left hand side. Engage the parking brake by pushing the lever rearward
and down until lever locks into position. Be sure to release parking brake before operating the
machine.
• IGNITION: The ignition switch is located on the drivers right hand side toward the rear of
the seat. The ignition switch has three positions: OFF, ON, START.
• THROTTLE: The throttle\choke control is located on the drivers right hand side towards the
front of the seat. For maximum performance and battery charging, operate mower at full
throttle. When starting a cold engine, place lever forward in the full choke position. After start
up, move throttle rearward to full throttle position. Move lever all the way to the rear for
lowest setting before shutting off engine. The 50” Model has a push/pull choke mounted on
the right side fender for easier cold weather starts. Pull out to choke (start) engine.
• PTO SWITCH: The PTO, or Power Take Off switch is used to engage the blades of the
mower. When the PTO switch is pulled out the blades will be engaged. When the PTO switch
is pushed in the blades will be disengaged. The PTO switch must be pushed in to complete the
Operator’s Presence System to start engine.
• NEUTRAL LOCK: The steering levers must be in the outward and locked position for the
mower to start. ( See page 11)
