Operation
1. Release the traction-control pedal to place
the machine in neutral and disengage the
blade-control switch.
2. Adjust the throttle:
•
For All Engines except Exmark: Place the
throttle midway between the “SLOW” and
“FAST” positions.
•
For Exmark Engines: Place the throttle in the
“FAST” position.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 15
seconds, then turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position. Remember to remove the key
from the ignition switch.
Mowing in Reverse
The machine has an interlock feature that prevents
the mower deck from mowing while the machine
is traveling in reverse. If you shift into reverse with
the PTO engaged, the PTO will stop. If you need
to mow while in reverse gear, you can temporarily
deactivate this interlock.
Note:
Do not mow while backing up unless it is
absolutely necessary.
DANGER
A child or bystander could be backed over by a
riding mower with blades engaged and cause
serious personal injury or death.
•
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary.
•
Always look backward and down before
backing up.
•
Use the KeyChoice
®
switch only if you are
certain no children or other bystanders will
appear in the mowing area.
•
Always remove both the ignition and
KeyChoice
®
keys and put them in a safe place
out of the reach of children or unauthorized
users when leaving the unit unattended.
If you are certain that you can safely mow or operate
an attachment in reverse, complete the following
procedure:
1. Insert the KeyChoice
®
key into the KeyChoice
®
switch (Figure 5).
2. Engage the PTO.
3. Turn the KeyChoice
®
key clockwise until it stops
and release it.
Note:
A red light illuminates on the console to
serve as a reminder that the interlock has been
deactivated.
4. Perform the mowing.
5. When finished mowing, remove the KeyChoice
®
key (Figure 5).
Note:
Once you deactivate the interlock, it stays
in this mode—with your mower blade or PTO
powered attachment operating whenever you
back up—and the console light stays on until you
either disengage the PTO or turn off the engine.
Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
Note:
The transport position is the highest
height-of-cut position or cutting height 4.5 inches (
115 mm) as shown in Figure 13.
