Fuel Safety compartment to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills. • Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. Adding Fuel – To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, place the container and/or machine directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object. Recommended Fuel – Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level ground, in an open area, and when the engine is cold.
Using the Safety-Interlock System WARNING If the safety-interlock switches are disconnected or damaged, the machine could operate unexpectedly, causing personal injury. • Do not tamper with the interlock switches. • Check the operation of the interlock switches daily and replace any damaged switches before operating the machine. Understanding the Safety-Interlock System The safety-interlock system is designed to prevent the engine from starting unless: • The blade-control switch (PTO) is disengaged.
4. 5. Adjusting the MyRide™ Suspension System Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, move the blade-control switch (PTO) to the OFF position, and move the motion-control levers to NEUTRAL-LOCK position. Start the engine. While the engine is running, center either motion-control lever and move it forward or reverse; the engine should shut off. Repeat for other motion-control lever. The MyRide™ suspension system adjusts to provide a smooth and comfortable ride.

ON position 2. OFF position Always use the FAST position when engaging the PTO. Operating the Key Switch 1. Turn the key to the START position (Figure 23). Note: When the engine starts, release the key. Important: Do not engage the starter motor for more than 5 seconds at a time.
Starting the Engine CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking. Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Engaging the starter motor for more than 5 seconds can damage the starter motor. If the engine fails to start, wait 10 seconds before operating the engine starter again.
Driving the Machine The drive wheels turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly improves the machine maneuverability but may require some time for you to adapt to how it moves. The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the throttle control in the FAST position for best performance.
Using the Side Discharge Adjusting the Height of Cut The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. The machine is equipped with a foot pedal deck-lift system. You can use the foot pedal to lift the deck briefly to avoid obstacles and to raise the deck. You can adjust the height of cut from 38 to 114 mm (1-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by moving the height-of-cut pin into different hole locations.
2. 3. Alternating the Mowing Direction Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. Alternate the mowing direction to keep the grass standing straight. This also helps disperse clippings, which enhances decomposition and fertilization. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers as shown in Figure 29. Mowing at Correct Intervals Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year.
Pushing the Machine by Hand After Operation After Operation Safety Important: Always push the machine by hand. Do not tow the machine, because towing may damage it.
