Operation
Blade Control Switch (Power
Take-Off)
Located on the control panel.
The blade control switch, represented by a power
take-off (PTO) symbol, engages and disengages
power to the mower blades (see Figure 4).
Pull out on the blade control switch to “On” to
engage the blades.
Push the blade control switch to “Off” to disengage
the blades.
Throttle/Choke Lever
Located on control panel.
The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving
throttle lever forward will increase engine speed and
moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine
speed. Moving the throttle forward into the detent is
full throttle (see Figure 4).
The choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine.
Do Not run a warm engine with the choke in the
“ON” position. Moving the lever forward beyond
the detent will put the choke in the “ON” position
and moving the lever to the detent will put the choke
in the “OFF” position.
Motion Control Levers
The motion control levers located on each side of
the seat (Figure 3).
The motion control levers are speed sensitive controls
of independent wheel motors. Moving a lever
forward or backward turns the wheel on the same side
forward or in reverse; wheel speed is proportional to
the amount the lever is moved. Moving the control
levers outward from the center position locks them
in the neutral position. Always position the motion
control levers into the neutral position and engage
the park brake lever when you stop the machine or
leave it unattended. The unit must be tied down and
brake engaged when transporting.
Parking Brake Lever
Located on left side of the console (Figure 3).
The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive
wheels.
Pull the lever up and rearward to engage the brake.
Push the lever forward and down to disengage the
brake.
Height-of-Cut Foot Lever
The height of cut lever allows the operator to lower
and raise the deck from the seated position (Figure 3).
When the lever is moved forward, away from the
operator the deck is raised from the ground and
when moved back, towards the operator it is lowered
toward the ground. Only adjust the height of cut
while machine is not moving.
Hour Meter
Located on the control panel.
The hour meter is connected to a pressure switch
installed in the engine block and it records the number
of hours that the engine has run ( Figure 4). If the
ignition switch is left on without engine running,
hour meter will not run.
Note: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not
alert the operator if the engine oil is low.
