CAUTION
Do not park the traction unit on a slope.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has 3 positions: Off, On/Preheat, and
Start.
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls the speed of the engine. Moving
the throttle lever forward toward the Fast position increases
the engine speed. Moving it rearward toward the Slow
position decreases the engine speed. The throttle controls the
speed of the blades and, in conjunction with motion control
levers, controls ground speed of the machine. Always run the
machine with the throttle in the Fast position when cutting
grass.
Power Take Off (PTO) Switch
The power take-off (PTO) switch starts and stops the mower
blades.
Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of hours the engine
has operated. It operates when the key switch is in the Run
position. Use these times for scheduling regular maintenance.
