Forward Speed Control Lever
Reverse Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the mower.
The forward speed control lever controls the forward
ground speed control of both drive wheels.
The left reverse speed control lever controls the steering
and reverse ground speed of the left drive wheel. The
right reverse speed control lever controls the steering and
reverse ground speed of the right drive wheel.

Engine Kill / Operator Presence Handles
These handles are a major factor in the safety interlock
system of the mower. Both handles are tied together so
depressing one handle depresses both. The operator must
depress the handles in order to deactivate the engine kill
system. Handles must be depressed to disengage the
parking brake and engage the PTO switch.
PTO (Power Take Off) Switch
The PTO switch engages and disengages the mower.
Pull UP on the switch to engage, and push DOWN to
disengage.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the electrical
system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting
Note: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped-this drains the battery.
