Briggs & Stratton 2691039-00 Lawn Mower User Manual


 
Engine Speed Control (EFM - 24 &
27HP)
The engine speed control controls the engine speed and
choke. Move the engine speed control to the FAST posi-
tion to increase engine speed, and to the SLOW position
to decrease engine speed.
NOTE: The engine on this unit features an Electronic
Fuel Management (EFM) system, and does not require
choking.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine; it
has three positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN posi-
tion with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and
disengages the mower blade clutch. To engage the PTO,
pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note
that the operator must be seated firmly in the rider seat
for the PTO to function.
Transmission Release Levers
The transmission release levers deactivate the
transmissions so that the unit can be pushed by hand
(see Pushing the Unit by Hand).
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and backward
(see Seat Adjustments).
Fuel Tank Cap
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.
Mower Cutting Height Adjustment
Switch
The mower cutting height is adjustable between 1-1/2”
(3,8 cm) and 3-3/4” (9,5 cm). See Cutting Height
Adjustment.
Parking Brake
Moving the parking brake lever forward and to the
right engages the parking brake. Moving the lever to the
left and back disengages the brake.
Hour Meter (if equipped)
The hour meter measures the number of hours the
key has been in the RUN position.
NOTE: The hour meter will register the passage of time
when the engine is running. The hour meter has a self-
contained power source so the total hours are always
visible.
