Operating Checklist
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training
involved in operation, transport, maintenance, and
storage of the riding mower. Therefore, it is absolutely
essential that no one operates the mower without first
having read, fully understood, and become totally familiar
with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure the operator has
paid particular attention to:
• Important Safety Information, page 1
• Section 1: Assembly & Set-up, page 10
• Section 2: Operating Procedures, page 12
• Section 3: Adjustments, page 22
• Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication, page 30
The following Operating Checklist should be performed
before operating your mower:
Instrumentation
Engine Oil Pressure Light
Refer to to Figure 2-2:
This light comes on when ignition switch is placed in RUN
position and stays lit until the engine is running with safe
oil pressure. Shut engine off immediately if light comes
on during operation. Locate and correct problem before
using the mower.
Hour Meter
Refer to Figure 2-2:
The hour meter registers 1/10 hour increments up to
9,999.9 total hours. The meter is connected to the ignition
switch and records accumulative time only while the
engine is running.
A plastic film covers the hour meter window. It protects
the window from scratches during shop assembly and
shipping. This covering should be removed by the owner
before placing mower into service.
