DRIVE LEVER, NEUTRAL LOCK/PARK BRAKE LATCH OPERATION
4.1.4 Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers:
Located on the upper handle assembly directly above the
handle grips. When these levers are depressed, the OPC
system senses that the operator is in the normal operator's
position. When the levers are released, the OPC system
senses that the operator has moved from the normal operating
position and will kill the engine if either the transmission
shift lever is not in the neutral position or the blade clutch
is engaged.
4.1.5 Blade Engagement Lever:
Located on the left side of the upper handle. To engage the
blades, push the lever forward, or away from the operator,
until the turnbuckle locks over-center. To disengage the
blades, pull the lever to the rear, or towards the operator,
until the bell crank, located at the rear of the engine deck,
contacts the deck.
4.1.6 Throttle-Choke Control:
Kawasaki,Kohler, and B&S 10.5 hp Engines:
The throttle-choke control lever is located on the control
console right side. Choke aids in starting a cold engine. The
choke control is a part of the throttle control and activates

position. You will notice a detent at the "full throttle"
position (approximately 3/4" from top of slot) continue
pushing forward into the "choke" position.
Once the engine has started, move the throttle control lever
to the midway point and allow the engine to warm-up before
going to full throttle.
All Kawasaki, Kohler, and B&S 10.5 hp engines are equipped
with "throttle kill" as a standard feature. Moving the
throttle control lever to the full rear position will kill
the engine. You will notice the control lever will fall into
