Features & Controls

Fuel Tank Cap
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.
Fuel Level Gauge
Displays the fuel level in the tank.
Hour Meter / Maintenance Reminder
Measures the time of the PTO being engaged. The hour
meter measures the number of hours the PTO has been
engaged. The hour meter will flash an initial oil change
indicator at 5 hours, and a lubrication reminder every 50
hours. These reminders display for approximately two
hours and will automatically reset themselves.
Note: The hour meter will register the passage of time
only when the PTO is engaged. The hour meter has a
self contained power source so the total hours are
always visible.
Throttle Control
The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle
forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease
engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.
Ground Speed Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The
left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right
lever controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed
of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever
increases the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section for
steering instructions.
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.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever towards the left, position the seat as desired, and
release the lever to lock the seat in position.
