Front Wheel Drive System
(Self-Propelled Units Only)
The mower has a front wheel drive system. Operate the drive
system as follows.
1. Hold the engine stop lever in the Operating Position (A,
Figure 17).
2. Push the drive lever (B) completely forward (C). When
the drive lever clicks, release the drive lever. The drive
system is now engaged.
Note: To stop the engine, release the engine stop lever.
3. To disengage the drive system and stop the engine,
completely release the engine stop lever.
4. To disengage only the drive system, release the engine
stop lever approximately two inches. The drive system
will disengage but the engine will continue to run.
Note: When the drive system is disengaged on a new unit, it
is possible for the front wheels to rotate if lifted off the
ground. This is normal and will stop after one or two hours
of operation.

Stopping the Engine

To stop the engine, release the engine stop lever. Disconnect
the wire from the spark plug to prevent the engine from
starting. On models equipped with an electric start engine,
remove the key from the key switch. Keep the key away from
children.
If the engine will not stop, hold a screwdriver against the
spark plug and against the engine cooling fins. The spark will
go to ground and the engine will stop. Before you start the
engine, check the engine stop cable. Make sure the engine
stop cable is assembled correctly. Before you operate the
unit, replace a bent or damaged engine stop cable.
WARNING: For safe operation, the drive
system must immediately disengage when the
drive lever is released. If the drive system does
not disengage correctly, do not operate the
mower until the drive system is adjusted or
repaired by an authorized service center.
