Choke
CLOSE the choke for cold starting (pull knob up). OPEN
the choke once the engine starts (push knob down). If
the engine is warm, it may not require choking. If this is
the case, set the choke to OPEN (push the knob down)
while cranking the engine. In most cases, you will need
to close the choke in order to start the engine.
Mower Cutting Height Switch
To increase the mower cutting height (raise the mower
deck), press the top of the yellow cutting height switch.
To decrease mower cutting height (lower the mower
deck), press the bottom of the switch. Mower cutting
height range is approximately 3-3/4” to 1-1/2” (9,5 to 3,8
cm). The cutting height gauge indicates the position of
the mower deck. The cutting height gauge is located on
the front of the rider, just behind the driver’s left leg.
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.
