Page 12: How To Use Your Mower
HOW TO USE YOUR MOWER TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 3) Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system. When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the park brake will shut off the engine. - Page 13 NOTE: To begin motion the operator must be in the seat and the parking brake disengaged before the motion control levers can be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will kill. Fig. 4 and 4A. By moving the levers an equal amount forward or back the machine will move in a straight line in that direction.
- Page 14 FOOT PEDAL HEIGHT PLATE FIGURE 5 TO ADJUST ANTI-SCALP ROLLERS (See Figure 6) Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when they are just slightly off of the ground when the deck is at the desired cutting height in the operating position. Anti-scalp rollers then keep the deck in the proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.
- Page 15 • The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills. • Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. • If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull drive levers into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit and engage the park brake.
