Controls
Traction Pedals (Fig. 12)—Depress the traction
forward pedal to move forward. Depress the
traction reverse pedal to move backward or to assist
in stopping when moving forward. Also, allow the
pedal to move or move it to the neutral position to
stop the machine.
Mow/Transport Slide (Fig. 12)—Using your heel,
move the slide to the left to transport and to the
right to mow. The cutting units will only operate in
the mow position. Note: Mow speed is set at the
factory to 9.7 kmh. It can be increased or
decreased by adjusting the speed stop screw
(Fig. 13)

angle of the machine in degrees.
Starter Switch (Fig. 14)—The starter switch, used
to start, stop and preheat the engine, has three
positions: OFF, ON/PREHEAT and START. Turn
the key to the ON/PREHEAT position until the
glow plug indicator light goes out (approximately 7
seconds), then turn the key to the START position
to engage the starter motor. Release the key when
the engine starts The key will move automatically
to the ON/RUN position. To shut off the engine,
turn the key to the OFF position. Remove the key
from the switch to prevent accidental starting.
Throttle (Fig. 14)—Moving the throttle forward
increases engine speed, moving it rearward
decreases engine speed.
Cutting Unit Shift Lever (Fig. 14)—To lower the
6
cutting units to the ground, move the lift lever
forward. (The cutting units will not drop unless the
engine is running, and they will not operate in the
raised position.) To raise the cutting units, pull the
lift lever rearward to the RAISE position.
Move the lever to the right or left to move the
cutting units in same direction. This should only be
done when the cutting units are raised or if they're
on the ground and the machine is moving.
The machine is most stable on a hill side when
the cutting units are shifted uphill. Shifting the
cutting units downhill decreases machine stability.
This could cause a rollover, which may resuit in
personal injury or death.
Note: The lever does not have to be held in the
forward position while the cutting units are
lowered.
Indicator Slot (Fig. 12)—The slot in the operator's
platform shows when the cutting units are in the
center position.
Cutting Unit Drive Switch (Fig. 14)—The switch
has two positions: ENGAGE and DISENGAGE.
