reverse; wheel speed is proportional to the amount the lever
is moved. Move the control levers outward from the center
to the park position, and exit the machine (Figure 16). Always
position the motion-control levers into the park position
when you stop the machine or leave it unattended.
Smart Speed™ Control System Lever
The Smart Speed™ Control-System lever, located below the
operating position, gives the operator a choice to drive the
machine at 2 speed ranges—high and low (Figure 5).

Height-of-Cut Lever
The height-of-cut lever allows the operator to lower and
raise the deck from the seated position. When the lever is
moved up (toward the operator), the deck is raised from the
ground, and when moved down (away from the operator), it
is lowered toward the ground. Only adjust the height-of-cut
while the machine is not moving (Figure 20).

from the normal operating position.

Adding Fuel

•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains
more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or
E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol ). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine
damage which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers
over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion
from gasoline can burn you and others and can
damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 6 to 13
mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
