CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning one lever
too much ahead of the other.

cause damage to the machine or injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Use caution when making turns.
♦ Slow the machine down before making sharp turns.
4.1.3 Tracking Adjustment Knob: Located under the seat on the LH pump control link.
Rotating this knob allows fine tuning adjustments so that the machine tracks
straight with the drive levers in the full forward position.
Stop machine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Engage park brake. Unhook
seat latch and tilt seat forward to gain access to the tracking knob. Rotate the knob
clockwise (as viewed from the rear of the machine) to cause the machine to track
more to the right and counterclockwise to cause the machine to track more to the
left. Adjust in quarter-turn increments until the machine tracks straight. Check that
the machine does not creep when in neutral with the park brakes disengaged.
IMPORTANT: Do not rotate the knob too far, as this may cause the machine
to creep in neutral. Refer to section 5.2.13 for control linkage adjustment.

: Located on right fuel tank.
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.
4.1.5 Choke Control
: Located on right fuel tank.
Choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. Moving the choke lever forward
will put the choke in the “ON” position and moving the choke lever to the rear
will put the choke in the “OFF” position. DO NOT run a warm engine with choke
in the “ON” position.

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.
The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.
4.1.8 Ignition Switch
: Located on right fuel tank.
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three
positions “OFF”, “ON” and “START”. Insert key into switch and rotate clockwise
to the “ON” position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage the starter
(key must be held against spring pressure in this position).
Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position)
and PTO switch “OFF” to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to
be in the seat to start the engine.)
