OPERATION HOW TO USE YOUR MOWER First time users should push mower (see TO TRANSPORT) to an open, fiat area, with no other persons or vehicles/obstacles near by. DO NOT start unit until you have read this section. Check to make sure bypass rods are in the drive position (see TO TRANSPORT) (see FIGURE 3, ITEM 6).
OPERATION If the engine does not accept the load from engaging the PTO, restart the engine and allow it to warm up for an additional minute or so, using the choke if required.
OPERATION TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 4) NOTE: Zero turn mowers are far more manueverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steering capabilities. We recommend that this section be reviewed in it's entirety prior to attempting to move mower under its own power.
OPERATION CAUTION Attempting to zero turn at too high a ground speed may result inTURF DAMAGE due to the wheel spinning or slipage. The unit should always be brought to a very slow or stopped position prior to zero turning.
TO OPERATE ON HILLS OPERATION The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills. Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull drive levers into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit and engage the park brake.
OPERATION TO OPERATE MOWER Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system. When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the park brake will shut off the engine. Select desired height of cut. Start deck blades by pulling the PTO switch up into the engaged position.
