4.1.6 Throttle Control: Located on the control console's right side next to the choke
control. 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.
4.1.7 Speed Control Lever: Located in middle of control console, it controls the
maximum forward speed and is infinitely variable from neutral (0 mph) to 6.2
mph.
4.1.8 Ignition Switch: Located on the control console just below the choke control.
The ignition switch has three positions, "Off", "On" and "Start". Insert key into
switch and rotate clockwise to the "On" position. Rotate clockwise to the next
position to engage the starter (key must be held against spring pressure in this
position). Operator must have speed control lever in neutral, OPC levers
depressed and blade clutch disengaged to start engine. When engine starts,
release key.

clutch switch. The hour meter is connected to a pressure switch installed in the
engine block and it records the number of hours that the engine has run. If
ignition switch is left on without engine running, hour meter will not run.
NOTE: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not alert the operator if the
engine oil is low.
4.1.10 Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Installed in the fuel line midway between the tank and
engine. The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the flow of fuel when
parking inside a building, during transportation to and from the job sites, and
when the machine will not be used for a few days.
Rotate valve 1/4 turn clockwise to shut fuel off. Rotate valve 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise to turn fuel on.

pumps. Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydro-static drive
system to allow the machine to be moved by hand without the engine running.

clockwise to reset the drive system. Do Not over tighten.
4.1.12 Tracking Adjustment Knob: Located on the right-hand side of the rear of the

PRE-START

Fill fuel tank. For best results use only clean fresh regular grade unleaded

gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Regular grade leaded gasoline
may also be used; however, combustion chamber and cylinder head will
require more frequent service. See Engine Owner's Manual.
