Hour Meter
The hour meter measures the number of hours the key has
been in the RUN position.
Note: The hour meter will register the passage of time when
the key is in the RUN position, even if the engine is not
running. The hour meter has a self contained power source
so the total hours are always visible.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Blade Engage) switch engages (turns the blades
on) and disengages (turns the blades off) the mower deck.
To engage the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to
disengage. Note that the operator must be seated firmly in
the rider seat for the PTO to function.
Transmission Oil Fill
Transmission oil is added through the transmission oil
reservoirs. It also serves as extra holding capacity for oil as
the transmissions heat up and the oil expands. See CHECK
TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL for oil level check and fill
procedures.
Transmission Release Levers
The transmission release levers deactivate the transmissions
so that the unit can be pushed by hand. See PUSHING THE
UNIT BY HAND for operational information.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and backward. Move the
adjustment lever towards the left, slide the seat to the
desired position, and release the lever.

To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise. The fuel gauge is
mounted in the fuel tank and indicates the amount of fuel in
the tank.

the control in the attachment raised transport position.

lower the mower into cutting position.
For attachment transport lift, pull the large lift lever back fully
to lock the control in the attachment raised transport
position.
