OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Controls
1.
Engine Ignition and Start Switch:
(See Figure 1.) Located on the
instrument housing below the right side of the operator’s seat.
When the key is inserted and turned clockwise, 45 degrees, the
ignition circuit is closed. Turning the switch further against spring
pressure starts the engine. The engine will only start if the blade
clutch switch is in the “off” position, the parking brake is engaged
and the left and right steering levers are in the neutral, opened-out
position. The key should always be removed from the switch if the
operator leaves the mower’s seat.

Engine Throttle Control:
(See Figure 2.) Located on the left side
of the mower next to the operator’s seat. Moving the throttle control
from the rear to the front will increase the engine speed from slow
to fast.

Left and Right Steering Levers:
(See Figure 3.) These hinged
levers open out to the side in the neutral position to permit the
operator to be seated or to leave the mower’s seat. The operator,
when seated, can pull the levers up to the operating position, a
comfortable forearm’s length away. These levers control all of the
movements of the mower. Pushing both levers forward causes the
mower to move forward. Pulling both levers back causes the
mower to move backward. Pushing one lever ahead of the other
lever causes the traction wheel on the side where the lever is
ahead to rotate faster than the other traction wheel, making the
mower turn toward the side where the lever is behind. When one
lever is pushed forward and the other lever pulled back the same
