Operation

Figure 12

1.

Engaged

2.

Partially engaged — Do
Not operate with ROPS
in this condition.

Important:

Always use the seat belt with the

roll bar in the operate (raised) position. Ensure
that the rear part of the seat is secured with the
seat latch.

Open the Fuel Valve

1. Slowly open the fuel valve to equalize the pressure

in the tank. The fuel valve is located on the top
end of the LPG tank. If the fuel valve is opened
too quickly, the pressure relief valve is equipped
with a back pressure check valve that will shut off
the fuel supply. If this happens, close the fuel
valve completely and wait five seconds. Slowly
open the fuel valve.

2. Rotate the fuel valve counterclockwise to turn on

the fuel. If leaks are detected, refer to the leak
information in the

Inspection

section in Safety.

Starting the Engine

1. Move the motion control levers out to the neutral

lock position.

2. Pull up and back on the parking brake lever to

engage the parking brake.

3. Push in on the PTO switch to the “STOP”

position.

Note:

It is not necessary for the operator to be

in the seat to start the engine.

4. Place the throttle in the “SLOW” position.
5. Turn ignition switch to the “START” position.

Release the switch as soon as the engine starts.

Important:

Do Not crank the engine

continuously for more than ten seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60
second cool-down period between starting

attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines
can burn out the starter motor.

Engaging the PTO

DANGER

The rotating blades under the mower deck are
dangerous. Blade contact can cause serious
injury or kill you.

Do Not put hands or feet under the mower or
mower deck when the blades are engaged.

DANGER

An uncovered discharge opening will allow
objects to be thrown in an operator’s or
bystander’s direction. Also, contact with the
blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade
contact can cause serious injury or death.

Never operate the mower with the discharge
deflector raised, removed, or altered unless there
is a grass collection system or mulch kit in place
and working properly.

The PTO push-pull switch engages the cutting blades.
Be sure that all persons are clear of the mower deck
and discharge area before engaging PTO.

Important:

Operator must be in seat before the

PTO can be engaged.

1. Set the throttle midway between the “SLOW” and

“FAST” positions.

2. Pull the PTO switch outward to engage the blades.

3. Place the throttle in the “FAST” position to begin

mowing.

Disengaging the PTO

1. Set the throttle midway between the “SLOW” and

“FAST” positions.

2. Push the PTO switch in to disengage the blades.

Stopping the Engine

1. Bring the unit to a full stop.

2. Disengage the PTO.

3. Move the motion control levers out to the neutral

lock position.
