OPERATION
HOW TO USE YOUR MOWER
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 3)
Your mower is equipped with an operator
presence system. When the engine is running,
any attempt by the operator to leave the seat
without first setting the park brake will shut off
the engine.
• Pull park brake lever up and to the right
to engage the park brake. Make sure the
lever is secured to the right.
DECK BLADES
• To stop the deck blades, press down on
the PTO Switch into the disengaged
position.
ENGINE
• Move throttle control to slow position.
NOTE: Failure to move the throttle control to
slow position and allow engine to idle before
stopping may cause engine to “backfire”.
• Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and
remove key. Always remove key when
leaving the mower to prevent unautho-
rized use.
• Never use choke to stop engine.
IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH
IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN “OFF” WILL
CAUSE THE BATTERY TO BE DISCHARGED,
(DEAD).
WARNING
Always stop mower completely before
leaving the operators position; to empty a
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 3)
Always operate engine at full throttle. The
Throttle control is equipped with a choke detent.
Pressing the throttle control all of the way
forward will choke the engine. For full throttle,
press throttle control forward until you feel
resistance.
• Operating engine at less than full throttle
reduces the battery charging rate
• Full throttle offers the best mower perfor-
mance.
TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 3)
Use choke control whenever you are starting a
cold engine. Do not use to start a warm engine.
• To choke, press the throttle control as far
forward as it will go.
• To take out of choke, pull back on the
throttle control until it clicks.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
(See Fig. 4)
IMPORTANT: CONTROL LEVERS RETURN
TO NEUTRAL WHEN RELEASED. THIS MAY
CAUSE A SUDDEN STOP OF THE MOWER.
The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the control levers on either side of
the mower.
The left lever controls the flow of oil in the left IZT
(Integraded Zeroturn Transaxle) to the left wheel.
The right lever controls the flow of oil in the right
IZT to the right wheel.
