3. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Controls
3.1.1 Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers: Located on the upper handle
assembly directly above the handle grips. See Figure 3. When these levers
are depressed, the OPC system senses that the operator is in the normal
operator's position. When the levers are released, the OPC system senses
that the operator has moved from the normal operating position and will kill
the engine if either the speed control lever is not in the neutral position or the
PTO is engaged.
3.1.2 Drive Levers: Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly below
the handle grips. See Figure 1. These levers individually control the speed and
direction of each drive wheel. When the speed control lever is moved out of the
neutral position and the neutral lock latches are moved into the drive position, as
shown in Figure 1, and the drive levers are released, the drive wheels are
engaged in the forward direction.
Squeezing the left hand and/or right hand lever causes the left hand and/or right
hand drive wheel respectively to slow down, stop, or reverse, depending on how
far each drive lever is "squeezed". Squeezing the drive levers beyond the neutral
position causes the drive wheels to engage in the reverse direction regardless of
the position of the neutral lock latches and the speed control lever.
3.1.3 Neutral Lock Latches: These latches allow the operator to lock the drive levers in a
"neutral" position where the drive wheels are not engaged in either a forward or
reverse direction. See Figure 1.

3.1.4 PTO Engagement: Switch is located on left side of control console. The switch must
be pulled out to the "Rotate" position to engage the blades. The switch is pushed
in to the "Stop" position to stop the blades. Operator must have operator presence
control levers depressed when PTO is engaged or engine will stop.
3.1.5 Choke Control: Located on the control console right hand side. Choke is used to
aid in starting a cold engine. The choke control is pulled out to be in the "ON"
position and pushed in to be in the "OFF" position. DO NOT run a warm engine
with choke in the "ON" position.
3.1.6 Throttle Control: Located on the control console's right side. The throttle is used
to control engine speed. Moving the throttle control forward will increase engine
speed and moving it to the rear will decrease engine speed.
