Switch is pushed in to disengage the blades.
The LCD indicator will appear when the PTO switch
is disengaged (see Figure 8).
Low Voltage Indicator
Located on the right console in the message display
(see Figure 6 and Figure 8).
A low voltage condition (less than 12.3 volts) exists
when the LCD indicator appears on the message
display while the engine is running.
If the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position for
a few seconds before cranking the engine, the battery
voltage will display in the area where the hours are
normally displayed.
Note: The indicator normally appears when the
engine is off and the key switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
Deck Lift Pedal
Located at the right front corner of the oor pan.
Push the pedal forward with your foot to raise the
cutting deck. Allow the pedal to move rearward to
lower the cutting deck to the cut height that has been
set.
Transport Lock
Located on the height of cut adjustment plates to the
right of the parking brake.
Position in the transport latching position to
automatically latch the cutting deck when raised to
the transport position (see item 1 in
Figure 10).
In the non-latching position, the deck will
automatically return to the cutting height when the
pedal is lowered (see item 3 in Figure 10).

Pre-Start
Fill fuel tank on level ground. For best results use
only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Important: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white
gas because the fuel system could be damaged.
Do Not add oil to gasoline.
Do Not overll fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to the
bottom of the ller neck. The empty space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand. Overlling may result
in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission
system.
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform all the
necessary inspection and maintenance steps.
