always mow up and down slopes, not across.

•Be alert to dips and rises which change the general

slope. Watch for holes, rocks and roots in the

terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from

drop offs. Avoid ground conditions which will cause

the machine to slide.

•If the operator is uncomfortable or unsure of the

machinesstability,operation ontheseslopesshould

cease immediately.

CONTROLS

OPERATORPRESENTCONTROLS(A)

Hold control levers Adown 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.

SHIFTLEVER(B)

Forward, neutral and reverse speeds are selected by

moving the shift lever Bto 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 Cis pulled up toward the operator (ON)

and disengaged by pushing the PTO switch back

down(OFF).

•Disengagedrive to cuttingblades whenever you

stop or leave the operators position.

•Shut off engine and remove spark plug wire before

making adjustments or unplugging mower.

•DONOTSTART CUTTINGBLADESUNTIL

READYTOSTARTMOWING.

THROTTLE&CHOKECONTROL(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.

TRACTIONCONTROLLEVERS (E)

Thetractioncontrollevers have five functions:

1. To provide a neutral position to maneuver the

machine manually. See Traction Lock illustration

below.

2. Toengagedrivetothewheels—graduallyrelease

the traction control levers to take up the drive.

3. To apply the brakes—pull the levers up until the

brakesengage.

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 Dwith 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.
