Hour Meter
Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 12:
The hour meter registers 1/10 hour increments up to
9,999.9 total hours. The meter is connected to the ignition
switch and records accumulative time only while the
engine is running.
A plastic film covers the hour meter window. It protects
the window from scratches during shop assembly and
shipping. This covering should be removed by the owner
before placing mower into service.
Park Brake

The park brake lever is linked to the wheel motors. The
rear wheels are kept from turning when the lever is pulled
back to (ON). Push lever forward to (OFF) to release park
brakes.
Mower engine will stop running if park brake lever is set
to (ON) before spreading both control levers (OUT) or if
one or both control levers are moved (IN) before moving
park brake lever to (OFF).
Control Levers
Refer to Figure 2-3 & Figure 2-4:
The control levers are used to steer, accelerate,
decelerate, stop and change direction of travel.
Always move both control levers to neutral and (OUT)
before setting park brake to (ON). Always leave park
brake and control levers in this position until ready to
start traveling. Move park brake to (OFF) before pulling
control levers (IN). Start moving by moving control levers
either forward or rearward from neutral position.
See "Driving the Mower" on page 16 for a detailed
