CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing
require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence
of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Ground Speed Control Handles /
Operator Presence
These handles control the ground speed of the mower.
The left and right handles are tied together so you can
operate either lever to control the mower’s ground
speed.
Moving a handle forward to “F” increases the FORWARD
speed of the mower. Moving a handle back to “R”
increases the REVERSE speed. Moving the handles to
to “N” neutral position stops mower travel.
Note: The further a handle is moved away from the
neutral position the faster the mower will travel.
These handles also deactivate the engine kill system
when depressed. Release the handles to activate the
engine kill system. The engine will shut off if the
operator releases the handles with the PTO engaged or
parking brake disengaged.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
three positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
