Hour Meter Product Overview The hour meter records the number of hours the engine has operated. It operates when the engine is running. Use these times for scheduling regular maintenance (Figure 6). Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge is located with the hour meter, and the bars light up when the ignition switch is on (Figure 6). The indicator light appears when the fuel level is low—approximately 3.8 L (1 US gallon) remaining in the fuel tank. g027333 Figure 4 1. Height-of-cut deck lift pedal 6. Roll bar 2.
Blade-Control Switch (PTO) Weight: The blade-control switch (PTO) is used to engage the electric clutch and drive the mower blades. Pull the switch up to engage the blades and release. To disengage the blades, push the blade-control switch (PTO) down or move a motion-control lever into the neutral-lock position. Ignition Switch This switch starts the engine and has 3 positions: Start, Run, and Off.
Operation 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.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times. Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking the Engine-Oil Level (page 37). Filling the Fuel Tank Note: Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the tank allows the gasoline to expand. 1. Park the machine on level ground. 2.
Breaking in a New Machine New engines take time to develop full power. Mower decks and drive systems have a higher amount of friction when they are 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. Using the Rollover Protection System (ROPS) WARNING To avoid injury or death from rollover: keep the roll bar in the fully raised locked position and use the seat belt. Ensure that the seat is secured to the machine.
The use of protective equipment for eyes, ears, hands, feet, and head is recommended. DANGER Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control. 1 2 Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning. G009027 There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down. Figure 10 1. Wear safety glasses Always keep the roll bar in the fully raised and locked position and use the seat belt.
Operating the Mower-Blade-Control Switch (PTO) Operating the Throttle The throttle control can be moved between Fast and Slow positions (Figure 15). Always use the fast position when turning on the mower deck with the blade-control switch (PTO). The blade-control switch (PTO) starts and stops the mower blades and any powered attachments.
Operating the Ignition Switch 1. Turn the ignition key to the Start position (Figure 17). When the engines starts, release the key. Important: Do not engage starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start allow a 15 second cool-down period between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor. 1 Note: Additional starting cycles may be required when starting the engine for the first time after the fuel system has been without fuel completely.

Adjusting the Height-of-cut Pin The height of cut is adjusted from 25 to 140 mm (1 to 5-1/2 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by moving the clevis pin into different hole locations. 1. Move the transport lock to the lock position. 2. Push on the deck-lift pedal with your foot and raise the mower deck to the transport position (also the 140 mm (5-1/2 inch) cutting-height position); refer to Figure 27. 3. To adjust, rotate the pin 90 degrees and remove the pin from the height-of-cut bracket (Figure 27).
Changing the Seat Suspension 2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. The seat is adjustable to provide a smooth and comfortable ride. Position the seat where you are most comfortable. 3. Remove the carriage bolts and nuts from each skid (Figure 30). To adjust it, turn the knob in front either direction to provide the best comfort (Figure 32). 1 g024244 2 3 Figure 30 1.
Transporting the Machine 2. Rotate the release valve levers vertically to push the machine. This allows hydraulic oil to bypass the pump enabling the wheels to turn (Figure 33). Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury. 3.
Loading the Machine 1 Use extreme caution when loading or unloading machines onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wider than the machine for this procedure. Back up ramps and drive forward down ramps (Figure 35). g028043 Figure 35 1. Back up ramps 2 2. Drive forward down ramps Important: Do not use narrow individual ramps for each side of the machine. 6 Ensure the ramp is long enough so that the angle with the ground does not exceed 15 degrees (Figure 36).
Operating Tips setting. Then cut the grass again using the lower, normal setting. Maximizing Cutting Efficiency Stopping For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at the fast throttle position. Air is required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height of cut so low as to totally surround the mower by uncut grass. Always try to have one side of the mower free from uncut grass, which allows air to be drawn into the mower.
