Briggs & Stratton BARON XL Lawn Mower User Manual


 
Headlights
The light switch turns the tractor headlights on and off.
Brake Pedal
Depressing the brake pedal applies the tractor brake.
Hour Meter (Optional)
The hour meter measures the number of hours the key has
been in the RUN position (A).
The hour meter will flash an initial oil change indicator at
5 hours, and a lubrication reminder every 50 hours. These
reminders display for approximately two hours and will
automatically reset themselves.
NOTE: The hour meter will register the passage of time
when the key is in the RUN position, even if the engine is
not running. The hour meter has a self contained power
source so the total hours are always visible.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disengages
attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO, pull UP on
the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note that the operator
must be seated firmly in the tractor seat for the PTO to function.
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
position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.

Features & Controls
Ground Speed Pedals
The tractor’s forward ground speed is controlled by the forward
ground speed control pedal. The tractor’s reverse ground
speed is controlled by the reverse ground speed control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed. Note that
the further down the pedal is depressed, the faster the tractor
will travel.
Mower Height of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height adjustment knob controls the mower cutting
height. The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between 1” and
3-3/4” (2.5 cm - 9.5 cm).
Cutting Height Fine Tuning Adjustment
The cutting height fine tuning adjustment is used to set the
mower cutting height between two of the preset cutting
positions.
Attachment Lift Control Lever
When using the mower deck, lift the deck off the ground while
transporting to and from the job site. DO NOT cut with the
mower in the raised, transport position.
The attachment lift control lever raises and lowers attachments
that utilize the tractor’s manual lift linkage. Pushing the lever
forward lowers the attachment while pulling the lever back
raises the attachment. You must pull back slightly on the lever
and depress the release button to change lift positions. Be sure
the lever is fully forward when mowing.
Catcher Removal Lock
After depressing the catcher dump lock pedal, pull this
knob forward to release the catcher for removal.
Cruise Control (Optional)
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed control in
forward. Move the lever forward until the desired ground speed
is reached. To disengage the cruise control move the lever
back. In the event you need to stop quickly, depressing the
brake pedal will also return the cruise control to neutral.
