PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE
-NOTE-
When PTO is engaged or (possibly) disengaged,
a squealing sound from the underside of the
machine is normal. It is caused by the electric
clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to
speed. For best equipment life, engage the
clutch with the engine at 3/4 throttle, not under
full load.
WARNING:
If you are not familiar with the operation of the
hydrostatic drive and zero turn feature, practice
turning and maneuvering with the hand controls
before engaging the cutter blades.
7. While squeezing the steering brake levers with both
hands, release both neutral latches.
-NOTE-
Top speed is suggested only for transport!
6. Release the parking brake. Move the speed adjust-
ment lever to the desired mowing speed.
11. To "freewheel" or move the machine around
without the engine running, turn the dump valve
levers located at the back of the pumps to the
"freewheel" positions (see Figure 1). To operate
the machine, the dump valve levers must be
returned to the closed positions.
