OPERATION
16F 050761L
ATTACHMENTS
This unit can use many different attachments. See the attachment
page in this book. This unit can pull attachments like a lawn
sweeper, a lawn aerator, a hopper spreader or a small trailer. This
unit can not use attachments that engage the ground like a plow, a
disk harrow, or a cultivator.
For all pull behind attachments or trailers, the maximum gross
weight is 250 pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the attachment
or trailer and any load that might be on or in it.
Do not operate on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees when
using a pull behind attachment or trailer. We have included a slope
guide in this book to help you determine the slope on which you will
be operating your unit. Never allow someone to stand or ride on or
in an attachment or trailer.
HOW TO USE THE THROTTLE CONTROL
Use the throttle control to increase or decrease the speed of the
engine.
CAUTION: Always operate the engine with the throttle control
in the FAST position. If the engine runs for several minutes at
slower than the FAST position, the engine and transmission
will overheat and can be damaged.
1. The FAST position is marked with a detent. For normal opera-
tion and when using a grass bagger, move the throttle control
to the FAST position. For maximum charging of the battery and
for a cooler running engine and transmission, operate the en-
gine in the FAST position.
2. For transport and to tow pull behind attachments, control the
ground speed with the speed control pedal.
3. The engine governor is set at the factory for maximum perform-
ance. Do not adjust the governor to increase the speed of the
engine.

The blade rotation control is next to the steering wheel (Figure 7).

trol is in the DISENGAGE position.
2. Move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE position to

to the seat switch.
3. Move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position
to stop the blade(s). Before you leave the operator s position,
make sure the blade(s) has stopped rotating.
