Move lever forward to increase engine rpm, move
lever rearward to decrease engine rpm.
3. Choke control (Fig. 3-2a) – a cable is linked to
manually operate the engine choke. When the lever is
in the down position, the choke is in the off (run)
position. When the lever is pulled up, the choke is in
the on (start) position. Do not operate the machine in
the on (start) position. NOTE: The choke control is
not used on Models 927053, 927061, 928010, 928028
& 928036.
4. Control levers (Fig. 3-3) — these levers control the
tractor's speed, direction, neutral lock, and park brake.
Levers are used to steer, accelerate, decelerate and
change direction. When the control levers are in the
park brake position (3-4) the tractor will not move
when the engine is on and drive pumps are operating.
WARNING: The parking brake is not designed
to hold the tractor on steep slopes.
5. Deck clutch switch (Fig. 3-2a - 3-2b) — this switch
engages the deck. Pull the switch up to engage and
push switch down to disengage the clutch.
IMPORTANT: Never engage clutch with engine
running at high rpm or when the deck is under load.
Clutch, belts or deck could be damaged.
6. Deck lift pedal (Fig. 3-5) — the deck lift pedal is used
to raise or lower the deck. Push on the pedal to raise
the deck and then place the deck height locking pin
into the desired cutting height hole.
Push the deck lift pedal to raise the deck when going
over obstructions.
Instrumentation
7. Electronic hour meter (Fig. 3-6) — registers 1/10
hour increments up to 9,999.9 total hours. Connected
to the ignition switch, the meter records the
accumulative time while the ignition key is switched to
the RUN position and the operator is on the seat.
8. Oil pressure light and alarm (Fig. 3-2a - 3-2b) —
this light comes on when the ignition switch is placed
in the RUN position and stays lit until the engine is
running and a safe oil pressure is developed. If light
comes on during operation, shut engine off
immediately and locate and correct the problem.
Models 927558, 927566, 927921, 927939, 927947 &
927954 only — an audible alarm will sound when the
engine oil pressure drops below normal operating
pressure.
9. Check engine light (Fig. 3-2b) — refer to Kohler
engine owner's manual for details.
10. Temperature warning light and alarm (Fig. 3-2c) —
this light will come on when the engine coolant
temperature reaches an unsafe level during operation.
If light comes on, shut down the machine as soon as
possible. Never risk continued operation when light
remains on; high temperatures can severely damage
the engine.
Never risk continued opeation when light remains on:
high temperatures can severely damage the engine.
