Controls Motion-Control Levers Become familiar with all the controls before you start the engine and operate the machine. Use the motion-control levers to drive the machine forward, reverse, and turn either direction (Figure 5). Control Panel Park Position Move the motion-control levers outward from the center to the PARK position when exiting the machine to engage the electric brake (Figure 20).
Foot Pedal Deck-Lift System Operation The foot pedal deck-lift system allows you to lower and raise the deck from the seated position. You can use the foot pedal to lift the deck briefly to avoid obstacles or assist in adjusting the height of cut (Figure 5). Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Adding Fuel Fuel Safety • Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. Recommended Fuel – To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, remove the machine from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground, away from all vehicles.
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. • The motion-control levers are in the PARK position. The safety-interlock system also is designed to shut off the engine whenever the control levers are out of the PARK position and you rise from the seat. Testing the Safety-Interlock System Test the safety-interlock system before you use the machine each time.
Positioning the Seat Adjusting the Tilt The seat can move forward and backward. Position the seat where you have the best control of the machine and are most comfortable (Figure 9). You can adjust the motion-control levers forward or rearward for your comfort. 1. Loosen the upper bolt holding the control lever to the control-arm shaft. 2. Loosen the lower bolt just enough to pivot the control lever forward or rearward.
During Operation – Engage the parking brake. – Shut off the engine and remove the key. – Wait for all moving parts to stop. During Operation Safety • Operate the engine only in well-ventilated areas. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is lethal if inhaled. General Safety • Never leave a running machine unattended. • Attach towed equipment to the machine only at • The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
• Before backing up or turning the machine, look • These can change the stability of the machine and cause a loss of control.

Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time.
Driving the Machine Driving Backward 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. Note: Always use caution when backing up and turning. 1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position. 2.
Using the Side Discharge To change speeds, do the following: 1. Move the motion-control levers to neutral and outward to the PARK position. 2. Disengage the blade-control switch. 3. Adjust the lever to the desired position. The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. DANGER The following are only recommendations for use. Adjustments vary by grass type, moisture content, and the height of the grass.
Adjusting the Height of Cut Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers 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. Whenever you change the height of cut, adjust the height of the anti-scalp rollers. You can adjust the height of cut from 38 to 114 mm (1-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches) in 13 mm (1/2 inch) increments by moving the height-of-cut pin into different hole locations.
Stopping the Machine Operating Tips If you must stop the forward motion of the machine while mowing, a clump of grass clippings may drop onto your lawn. To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades engaged or you can disengage the mower deck while moving forward. Maximizing Air Circulation For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at the FAST position.
Pushing the Machine by Hand After Operation After Operation Safety This machine has an electric-brake mechanism, and to push the machine, the key must be in the RUN position.
