Operating the Blades

The blade-control switch, represented by a power take-off
(PTO) symbol, engages and disengages power to the mower
blades. This switch controls power to any attachments that
draw power from the engine, including the mower deck and
cutting blades.
Engaging the Blades
Important: Do not engage the blades when parked in
tall grass; belt or clutch damage can occur.
Note: Always engage the blades with the throttle in the
Fast position.

Disengaging the Blades

Stopping the Engine

1. Disengage the blades by moving the blade-control
switch to Off (Figure
2. Move the throttle lever to the Fast position.
3. Turn the ignition key to Off and remove the key.

Driving the Machine

Driving the machine benefits from an understanding of
what zero-turn-radius mower means. The drive wheels turn
independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle;
hence one side can turn in reverse while the other turns
forward causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This
vastly improves the machine maneuverability but may require
some adjustment if the operator is unfamiliar.
