OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: To begin motion the operator must be in the seat and the brake disengaged before the
levers can be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will kill.
By moving the levers an equal amount forward or back the mower will move in a straight line in
that direction.
Movement of the right lever forward will cause the right wheel to rotate in a forward direction.
Movement of the left lever forward will cause the left wheel to rotate in a forward direction. To
stop forward travel pull levers back into the neutral position.
To turn right while moving in a forward direction pull the right lever back towards the neutral
position, this will slow the right wheel and cause the mower to turn in that direction.
To turn left while moving in forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position, this will slow the left wheel and cause the mower to turn in that direction.
To zero turn pull one lever back beyond neutral while holding the other slightly ahead of neutral.
NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will be determined by which lever is pulled back beyond
neutral. Thus, left lever back, left turn and opposite for right turn. Use caution when using
this maneuver unit can spin very rapidly if one lever is positioned too much ahead of
the other.
3. Blade engagement switch: Located on the console. Pull up on switch to engage blades,
push down to turn blades off. See page 3
4. Choke control: Located on the console. Pull out on knob to set choke. Use when starting

5. Throttle control: Located on the console. Used to control engine RPM. See page 3
6. Park brake: Located at the left end of the console. Pull lever back to engage the park brake,
push lever forward to release brake. NOTE: Use tie downs when transporting unit, the park
brake is not enough to hold the unit in place in this situation. See page 3
7. Key switch: Located on the console. The operator must be in the seat, park brake on, motion control levers out in the neutral slots and blade switch off before engine will start. See
page 3
8. Fuel shut off valve: Located on the front of console at the top of the kick plate. The valve has
three positions left tank, right tank and straight down is the off position. See page 3
9. Pump release valves: Located at the top left corner of the pumps. Used to release the
system so unit may be moved by hand when not running. Tilt the seat up to gain access to the
pumps. Rotate valve towards the front of the unit to release the system using a 5/8 wrench.

MAINTENANCE
1. Engine oil level: Check daily with engine cold and on a flat surface. Remove the dipstick and
wipe clean. Reinsert the dipstick all the way. Remove the dipstick and check oil level. If oil level
is low remove oil fill cap and add oil. Use engine manufacturers specs for type of oil.
2. Pump drive belt compartment: Stop engine and remove key. Tilt seat forward and lift rubber
flap. Clean all debris from inside. Inspect rubber flap for proper fit and replace if needed.
NOTE: Cleaning may need to be done more frequently in dry conditions.
3. Mower blades: Stop engine and remove key. Lift deck into the transport position and inspect blades. Sharpen or replace as needed. Check daily or more often if needed. The
machine requires more power with dull blades and gives a poor cut. If blades get bent, replace them. Blades shouldn’t have any notches from hitting objects. The air foil on top of the
blade should be sufficient to raise the grass for cutting. If blades are in good condition,
sharpen at an angle of 22 to 28 degrees about 2-1/2 inches in from the tips. Note: After sharpening, check blades for proper balance, if needed correct balance to prevent excessive vibration.
4. Safety interlock system: Check daily and never operate the mower if this system is not
functioning properly. The starter should crank only when the operator is in the seat, the park
brake set, blades off and the motion control levers in the neutral slots. If the mower starts with
any of these controls on or in an operating position, turn the mower off and repair the system
immediately.
