Operation
Attachments
This unit can use many different attachments.
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.
Using Controls
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
operation 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 engine 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
performance. Do not adjust the governor to increase
the speed of the engine.
How to Engage the Blades (42” Models)
The blade rotation control is located above the steering
wheel (Figure 10). Use the blade rotation control to engage
the blades.

NOTE: If the engine stops when you engage the blades,
the seat switch is not activated. Make sure you sit in
the middle of the seat. Also, make sure the wire is
connected to the seat switch.
3. Move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE
position to stop the blades. Before you leave the
operator’s position, make sure the blades have stopped
rotating.
4. Before you ride the unit across a sidewalk or a road,
move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE
position.
WARNING: Always keep your hands and feet away
from the blade, deflector opening, and the mower
housing when the engine runs.
