Throttle Control Product Overview The throttle control has two positions: Fast and Slow. Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers When you squeeze the OPC levers against the handles, the OPC system senses that the operator is in the normal operating position.
Specifications Operation Note: Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. Adding Fuel • For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method). 32 inch mowers: Width with deflector down 45.8 inches (116.3 cm) Length 78 inches (198.1 cm) Height 41 inches (104.1 cm) Weight 402 lb (182 kg) • Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE by volume is acceptable.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times. DANGER In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
