Operating the Blades
The blade-control switch, represented by a power take-off
(PTO) symbol, engages and disengages power to the mower
blades. This switch controls power to any attachments that
draw power from the engine, including the mower deck and
cutting blades.
Engaging the Blades
Important:
Do not engage the blades when parked in
tall grass; belt or clutch damage can occur.
Note:
Always engage the blades with the throttle in the Fast
position (

Stopping the Engine
1.
Disengage the blades by moving the blade-control
switch to Off (
).
2.
Move the throttle lever to the Slow position.
Note:
Run it at idle speed for approximately one
minute.
3.
Turn the ignition key to Off and remove the key.
Driving the Machine
Driving the machine benefits from an understanding of
what zero-turn-radius mower means. The drive wheels turn
independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle;
hence one side can turn in reverse while the other turns
forward causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This
vastly improves the machine maneuverability but may require
some adjustment if the operator is unfamiliar.
WARNING
The machine can spin very rapidly. The operator
may lose control of the machine and cause personal
injury or damage to the machine.
•
Use caution when making turns.
•
Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured
in rpm (revolutions per minute). Placing the throttle control
in the Fast position can be best for performance. For most
applications, operating in the full-throttle position is desirable.
