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 one gallon remaining in the fuel tank).
Specifications 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. Note: Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. Width: Ignition Switch This switch is used to start the mower 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.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas. WARNING There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is in the down position. 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. • Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary. • Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is in the down position. Filling the Fuel Tank 1.
DANGER Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.
