Front Wheel Drive System

The mower has a front wheel drive system. Operate the drive
system as follows.
1. Hold the engine stop lever (A, Figure 12) in the
Operating Position (B).
2. Slowly pull the drive lever (A, Figure 13) back. The
drive system is now engaged. To increase ground
speed, slowly pull the drive lever farther back. To
decrease ground speed, slowly release the drive lever.
3. To disengage the drive system and stop the engine,
completely release the engine stop lever.
4. To disengage only the drive system, release the drive
lever. The drive system will disengage but the engine
will continue to run.
Note: When the drive system is disengaged on a new unit, it
is possible for the front wheels to rotate if lifted off the
ground. This is normal and will stop after one or two hours
of operation.

Stopping the Engine

To stop the engine, release the engine stop lever. Disconnect
the wire from the spark plug to prevent the engine from
starting.
Before you start the engine, check the engine stop cable.
Make sure the engine stop cable is assembled correctly.
Before you operate the unit, replace a bent or damaged
engine stop cable.
WARNING: For safe operation, the drive
system must immediately disengage when the
drive lever is released. If the drive system
does not disengage correctly, do not operate
the mower until the drive system is adjusted
or repaired by an authorized service center.
