OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Figure. 1 Electric Blade Clutch Switch Figure. 2 Tach and Hour Meter Engine throttle Choke Lever Ignition Switch A.General maintain the uphill side lap bar “essentially” in a fixed position. k. Be careful when crossing gravel paths or roadways. Always turn off the blade clutch switch and wait until the blades stop rotating and raise the cutting deck to the transport position. Always allow other vehicles to have the right of way. l.
B.Controls b. Avoid turning downhill if possible, if not use extra care and go slowly. c. Avoid turning when going downhill, traction is at a minimum going downhill. d. Do not operate with discharge side of the mower toward streets, buildings, playgrounds, parking lots, other machines, animals, and other people. e. Avoid operation or use extreme care if the traction surface is wet, unstable, or slippery. f.
Steering Levers Deck Lift Handle Note: The 19hp and 23hp use the 5 gallon fuel tank. Brake Figure. 4 Fuel Shutoff Valve Figure. 3 4. Electric Blade Clutch Switch: (See Figure 1.) Located on the right side of the mower beside the ignition switch. This is an “on/off” push pull switch that controls the electric blade clutch which supplies power to the cutting blades through the PTO.
C.Initial Adjustments the procedures below to set the appropriate angle to the mowing deck. a. Park the mower on a flat paved surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, remove the key from the ignition switch, remove connection of the spark plugs and using the transport lever, lower the mowing deck into the cutting position. b.
d. Inspect the machine to make sure: 1. All guards, shields (including mower chute deflector) are in their proper place, are secure, and are functional. 2. That there are no spilled or leaking fuel or oil sources, nor loose fuel or hydraulic tank caps, hoses or fittings. 3. That there are no loose or missing hardware nor any missing items. 4. That no non-approved devices are installed. 5. That all safety signs and decals are properly installed and legible. e.
The more the lap bars are moved toward the rear of the machine, the faster the machine will move in the reverse direction. Release the lap bars and the machine should stop traveling in reverse (this is a safety check, the normal procedure is for the operator to slowly bring the lap bars to the neutral position). 3. Do not retard the lap bars rapidly as this could cause turf defacement and/or loss of traction. 4.
e. Push the throttle control to a position a third of the way between slow and fast. f. Insert the key in the ignition and start switch and turn the switch to “On”. g. Gasoline Engine: If the engine is cold, push the choke to the on position. h. Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direction to the “Start” position until the engine starts. i. j. Note: Do not hold the key in the “Start” position for more than 10 seconds or you may damage the starter.
Linch Pins Linch Pins Figure. 6 Height of Cut Clevis Pin d. Detach the mower drive belt. a. Set the parking brake. b. Clean any debris from the blades. Keep blades sharp and free of build up at all times. c. Sharpen blades evenly at the original 30° angle to maintain balanced cutting blades. Do not sharpen the underside of the blades. Use a electric blade sharpener, a conventional electric grinder or a hand file to sharpen the blades. d.

With both steering levers folded out in the neutral position, the parking brake engaged and the blade clutch switch in the “off” position, sit in the operator’s seat and start the engine. Turn the blade clutch switch to the “on” position and the blades should start to rotate. Raise up slightly off the operator’s seat and the blades should stop. If the blades do not stop when you dismount from the operator’s seat, the seat switch must be replaced. e.
d. Loosen jam nuts on both ends of rod connectors. See Control Assembly in the Illustrated Parts Book (ONLY if mower creeps.) e. Start unit and push throttle all the way on. f. If unit creeps forward rotate rear rod connectors counter-clockwise. And if unit creeps in reverse, rotate clockwise. pin from the clevis pin and pulling the clevis pin from the brake clevis. Loosen the hex nut and turn the brake clevis in a clockwise direction one full turn looking down the brake rod.
prevents the rod end bearing from turning. If the mower creeps forward, thread the rod end bearing one-half turn clockwise into the linkage control arm. If the mower creeps backward, thread the rod end bearing one half turn counterclockwise out of the linkage control arm. Then tighten the jam nut and reconnect the rod end bearing to the control lever pivot by replacing the cap screw and lock washer. 3. Hydrostatic Pumps and Motors: The pumps are the hardest-working components in the hydraulic system.
2. When ready to start the engine: a. Check the five safety switches for proper operation. 3. After mowing: a. Clean the mower. b. Clean the engine air screen. c. Oil the wear points. Follow the Oiling Chart. d. After the first five hours, Change the engine oil and engine oil filter. into an approved fuel container. Open the fuel tank shutoff valve and drain the fuel tank and line into the approved container. Replace the fuel line on the carburetor. Start the engine and allow it to run out of fuel.
. OIL CHART Apply a few drops of SAE 20W-50 engine oil or use a spray lubricant. Apply the oil to both sides of pivot points. Wipe off any excess. Start engine and operate mower briefly to insure that oil spreads evenly.
