OPERATING

Using Key Switch

A - STOP (off) position - With key in the STOP position, all switched power

is off, and engine should not run.

B - Run (on) position - Turn key from STOP to this position, and all

switched power circuits will be on.

C - Start position - Turn key to start position to crank the engine. Release

key after engine has started and it will automatically return to the on

position. The engine will continue to run.

Using Mower Engagement Switch

• To Engage Mower - Pull mower engagement knob up.

• To Disengage Mower - Push mower engagement knob down.

Using the Hour Meter

• The hour meter shows the number of hours the engine has run. The hour

meter does not accumulate hours with the engine off when the key is in

the run position. Use the hour meter to determine when your machine has

reached the recommended service intervals.

• Turn the key to STOP position when not using the machine.

• Hour meter cannot be reset.

Using the Motion Control Levers

Before using the machine, become familiar with the motion control levers

and how they respond. It is essential to know how the machine

accelerates, steers and stops.

The functions of the motion control levers are:

• Dual function neutral position.

• Steering.

• Acceleration.

• Braking.

Start/shutdown Position

MX37896

• Motion control levers must be in the start/shutdown position (A) and the

park brake locked (B) to start the engine.

• Forward and reverse movement of the motion control levers is prevented

when levers are moved to the start/shutdown position.

• Operator can exit mower with the engine running when the mower

engagement switch is disengaged, the motion control levers are in the

start/shutdown position and the park brake is locked.

• Motion control levers must be in the start/shutdown position to safely

enter and exit the operator seat.

Neutral Position

MX37897

• Machine speed, motion, and direction can be controlled when the engine

is running, motion control levers are in the neutral position (C), and the

park brake is unlocked (D).

• To stop the machine for an emergency, move the motion control levers

quickly back to the neutral position.

Forward and Reverse Travel

Straight forward and reverse travel takes practice. If the machine does not

track in a straight line when going forward or reverse, the motion control

lever tracking may need adjusting.

1. Move throttle lever to the fast position.

2. Unlock park brake.

3. Move both motion control levers from the start/shutdown position inward

to the neutral position.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Learn use of the motion control

levers and practice at half throttle until becoming proficient and

comfortable with the operation of the machine.

Do not move motion control levers from forward to reverse or

reverse to forward position rapidly. Sudden direction changes

could cause loss of control or damage the machine.
