Operation
Try to start with operator in seat, parking brake
engaged, PTO engaged and motion control
levers in the neutral lock position - starter must
not crank.
Try to start with operator in seat, parking brake
engaged, PTO disengaged, and the left motion
control lever in, starter must not crank, repeat
again with the right lever in, then with both
levers in - starter must not crank.
2. Check kill circuits. Run engine at one-third
throttle, disengage parking brake and raise off
of seat (but do not get off of machine) engine
must initiate shutdown.
Run engine at one-third throttle, engage PTO
and raise off of seat (but do not get off of
machine) engine must initiate shutdown.
Run engine at one-third throttle, with brake
disengaged, move levers in and raise off seat (but
do not get off of machine) engine must initiate
shutdown.
Again, run engine at one-third throttle, brake
engaged, and move left motion control lever in
- engine must initiate shutdown.
Repeat again moving the right lever in, then
moving both levers in - engine must initiate
shutdown whether operator is on seat or not.
Note: If machine does not pass any of these tests,
Do Not operate. Contact your authorized EXMARK
SERVICE DEALER.
Important: It is essential that operator safety
mechanisms be connected and in proper
operating condition prior to use for mowing.
Driving Forward or Backward
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the Fast position for best
performance. Always operate in the Fast (full throttle)
position.
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.
Forward
1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position.
2. To go forward, slowly push the motion control
levers forward (Figure 9).

1. Neutral position 3. Backward
2. Center unlock position
4. Forward
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both
motion control levers (Figure 9).
To turn, pull back on the motion control lever
toward the direction you want to turn (Figure 9).
The farther you move the motion control levers
in either direction, the faster the machine will
move in that direction.
To stop, pull the motion control levers to neutral.
