4. Electric Blade Clutch Switch: (See Figure
1.) Located on the right side of the mower
beside the ignition switch. This is an “on/off”
push pull switch that controls the electric
blade clutch which supplies power to the cut-
ting blades through the PTO. The switch must
be turned off to start the engine and should
be turned off for safety any time another per-
son approaches the mower or the mowing
deck is raised to the transport position. Power
to the electric clutch will also be cut off if the
operator leaves the operator’s seat.
5. Parking Brake: (See Figure 3.) Located on
the left side of the traction unit. The handle is
an overcenter lever which applies the drum-
type brake on each drive wheel when the han-
dle is pulled to the rear. The brake must be
engaged in order to start the engine.
6. Deck Lift Handle and Foot Pedal Lift
Assist: (See Figure 3.) Located on the right
front corner of the mowing deck. Raise the
mowing deck to the transport position, by pull-
ing the lever to the rear and moving it inward
into the stop for transport. To lower the mow-
ing deck, pull the deck lift handle and move it
outward. This lower’s the deck to the cutting
position.The foot pedal lift assist (not pictured
above) can provide “lift assist” to the hand
lever or with “foot effort only”. To provide
assistance to the lift handle: remove the
detent pin from the pedal assembly. Fold the
pedal down to the horizontal position so the
hole in the pedal aligns with the hole in the
lever. Re-install the detent pin. Pull on the Lift
handle and depress the foot pedal to raise the
deck. Lifting with “foot effort only” depress the
foot pedal (the hand lever will lock into trans-
port position if fully depressed). To release the
lift mechanism depress the foot pedal, move
the hand lever outward and slowly reduce foot
pedal effort to lower the mechanism. To ser-
vice the unit: Remove the detent pin from the
pedal assembly. Fold the pedal up to vertical
position so the hole in the pedal aligns with
Note: The 19hp
and 23hp use the 5

Fuel Shutoff Valve
the hole in the lever. Reinstall the detent pin.
This is the required position for the foot pedal
for the foot platform to tilt forward and to
access some of the machines components.
7. Fuel Shutoff Valve: (See Figure 4.) Located
on top of the fuel tank(s). When turned in a
clockwise direction until it stops, it will shut off
the flow of fuel to the engine. When turned in
a counterclockwise direction it will open and
allow fuel to flow to the engine. Close this
valve if you are not going to run the mower for
a period of 30 minutes or more to prevent
flooding the engine.
8. Seat Adjustment Lever: The Seat Adjust-
ment Lever is located beneath the seat. The
Seat Adjustment Lever is used to move the
seat forward and backward. To place the seat
in the desired position pull the seat adjust-
ment lever to the left then push the seat for-
ward or back to the desired position. Release
the lever so the seat will lock in place.
9. Digital Tachometer and Hour Meter: (See
Figure 1) Located on the right side of the
mower in front of the ignition switch. When the
machine is running the tachometer displays
engine rpm. When the machine is off the
tachometer displays running time.
10. Choke Lever: (See Figure 2) The Choke
Lever is located on the left instrument panel
next to the seat. The Choke Lever is operated
manually. Having the Choke Lever in the ON
position helps the engine to start during initial
start-up. During normal operation the Choke
Lever should be in the OFF position.
Note:
The Tanks equipped with E.F.I. do
not have a choke control.
Note:
There will be a flashing “LUBE” for
each recommended lubrication interval. There
is a flashing “OIL” at each recommended
engine oil and filter change.
