Features and Controls

Control Functions
The information below briefly describes the function of
individual controls. Compare Figure 2 to the table fol-
lowing. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require
the combined use of several controls applied in specific
sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of
controls to use for various tasks see the Operation sec-
tion.
Deck Lift Pedal, Cutting Height
Adjustment Pin and Deck Lift
Lock Lever
The deck lift pedal, cutting height adjustment pin and deck
lift lock lever (A, Figure 2) adjust the mower cutting height.
See Cutting Height Adjustment.
Parking Brake
Move the parking brake lever (B, Figure 2) forward and to
the right to engage the parking brake. Move to the left and
back to disengage the parking brake.
Engine Speed / Choke Control *
The engine speed / choke control (C, Figure 2) controls
the engine speed and choke. Move the engine speed
control to the FAST position to increase engine speed, and
to the SLOW position to decrease engine speed.
Move the engine speed control past the FAST position to
the CHOKE position to start a cold engine.
NOTE: A warm engine does not require choking.
* NOTE: Some engines are equipped with a ReadyStart
feature, and do not feature a choke.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (D, Figure 2) starts and stops the
engine; it has three positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the electrical
system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the electri-
cal system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped – this drains the battery.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch (E, Figure 2) engages
and disengages the mower blade clutch. To engage the
PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage.
