Operation
Disengaging the PTO
1. Set the throttle midway between the “SLOW”
and “FAST” positions.
2. Push down on the PTO switch to disengage the
blades.
Note: The PTO will be disengaged by releasing
the right side motion control lever and allowing it
to spring outward to the PTO disengage position.
The PTO will not re-engage when the RH motion
control lever is moved out of the PTO disengage
position without pulling up on the PTO switch.
To fully disengage the PTO, continue to push the
switch downward.
Stopping the Engine
1. Bring the unit to a full stop.
2. Move the motion control levers to the neutral
position; move the RH control lever out to the
PTO disengage position.
3. Place the throttle midway between the “SLOW”
and “FAST” positions.
4. Push down on the PTO switch to disengage the
blades.
5. Engage the parking brake.
6. Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 15
seconds, then turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position to stop the engine.
7. Remove the key to prevent children or other
unauthorized persons from starting engine.
8. Close the fuel shut-off valve when the machine
will not be in use for a few days, when
transporting, or when the unit is parked inside
a building.
Driving the Machine
CAUTION
Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning one
lever too much ahead of the other. Operator may
lose control of the machine, which may cause
damage to the machine or injury.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
Important: To begin movement (forward or
backward), the brake lever must be disengaged
(pushed forward) before the motion control
levers can be moved or the engine will stop.
When the RH motion control lever is positioned
fully outward (apart), the drive system is in the PTO
disengage position (
Figure 8).
Note: The “N” LCD indicator appears when the
RH lever is in the PTO disengage position.
When the RH motion control lever is moved directly
inward (together) the drive system is in the neutral
operate position.
