Operation
The hour meter records the number of hours that
the engine has run.
Figure 6
1. LCD Indicators
2. Low voltage indicator light
3. Hour/Voltage display
The hour meter is recording when the decimal point
is ashing in Hour/Voltage display.
Hours are displayed when the key is off or when the
machine is running.
Note: 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 LCD indicators appear when each
control meets the “safe to start” mode (e.g. the
indicator turns on when the operator is in the seat.)
Note: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not
alert the operator if the engine oil is low.
Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The valve is located in the fuel line midway between
the fuel tank and the engine behind the seat.
The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the fuel
when the machine will not be used for a few days,
during transport to and from the jobsite, and when
parked inside a building.
Rotate the valve 1/4 turn clockwise to shut off fuel.
Rotate the valve 1/4 turn counterclockwise to turn
on fuel.
Drive Wheel Release Levers
Located at the rear of the mainframe.
Drive wheel release levers are used to release the
hydrostatic drive system to allow the machine to be
pushed without the engine running.
Pull each lever rearward and outward to lock. Pull
each lever inward and push forward to reset. Do Not
tow machine.
PTO Engagement Switch
Located right of center on the console (left side of
ignition switch).
Switch must be pulled out to the “ROTATE”
position to engage the blades. Switch is pushed in to
the “STOP” position to stop the blades.
The LCD indicator will appear when the PTO switch
is disengaged (see Figure 6).
Low Voltage Indicator
Located on the center console in the message display
(see Figure 6).
A low voltage condition (less than 12.3 volts) exists
when the low voltage indicator light 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.
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 (if equipped).
