Safety Interlock Indicators Motion Control Levers There are symbols on the hour meter and indicate with a black triangle that the interlock component is in the correct position (Figure 5). The motion control levers are used to drive the machine forward, reverse, and turn either direction. Fuel Shut-off Valve Battery Indicator Light Close the fuel shut-off valve (on the right side of the engine) when transporting or storing the mower.
Operation 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. Adding Fuel Use Unleaded Regular Gasoline suitable for automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
Breaking In a New Machine Important: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol. New engines take time to develop full power. Mower decks and drive systems have higher friction when new, placing additional load on the engine. Allow 40 to 50 hours of break-in time for new machines to develop full power and best performance. Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas. Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline.
