CONTROLS

OPERATOR PRESENT CONTROLS (A)
Hold control levers A down for blade operation and to
shift transmission out of neutral. If the PTO switch is
engaged or if the transmission is shifted out of neutral
and the operator present control levers are not held
down, the engine will kill.
SHIFT LEVER (B)
Forward, neutral and reverse speeds are selected by
moving the shift lever B to the desired position
indicated on the gear selector plate G. The higher
numbers in forward indicate faster speeds.
PTO SWITCH (C)
• Drive to the cutterdeck is engaged when the PTO
switch C is pulled up toward the operator (ON)
and disengaged by pushing the PTO switch back
down (OFF).
• Disengage drive to cutting blades whenever you
stop or leave the operators position.
• Shut off engine and remove spark plug wire before
making adjustments or unplugging mower.
• DO NOT START CUTTING BLADES UNTIL
READY TO START MOWING.
THROTTLE & CHOKE CONTROL (T)
By moving the throttle lever forward towards the
engine, engine speed is increased until the maximum
governed R.P.M. is obtained at the detent. By moving
the throttle lever back, the engine will idle down.
Moving the throttle lever forward past the detent will
engage the choke.
KEY SWITCH (S)
Turn key to right and hold until machine starts. When
machine starts, let go of key and it will return to run
position. Turn key to left to stop engine.

TRACTION CONTROL LEVERS (E)
The traction control levers have five functions:
1. To provide a neutral position to maneuver the
machine manually. See Traction Lock illustration
below.
2. To engage drive to the wheels—gradually release
the traction control levers to take up the drive.
3. To apply the brakes—pull the levers up until the
brakes engage.
4. To steer the unit, pulling the RH lever will initiate
a RH turn and the LH lever a LH turn.
5. To engage parking brake: Pull the traction levers
all the way up into the brake position. Push
down on traction lever lock D with thumb and
rotate to lock in brake position. Each wheel
works independently of each other. Both locks
must be in same position (either NEUTRAL or
PARKING BRAKE) to work properly.
NOTES:
• Both traction control levers must be released at
the same time in order to go straight ahead.
Using one traction control lever will cause the
machine to turn to one side.
• When using the traction locks to provide a neutral
position be sure the traction control rods are fully
seated in the Neutral Position of the traction
locks. Failure to do this may result in serious
injury.
• When using traction lever locks D, push down
with thumb for easier operation.
