Moving a lever forward (A) from the NEUTRAL position (B) increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel, and pulling back (C) on a lever increases the REVERSE speed. Moving the levers outwards (D) from the NEUTRAL position locks the levers in the NEUTRAL LOCKOUT position. Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
Transmission Oil Fill: Transmission oil is added through the Fast throttle speed. Slow throttle speed. hydraulic oil tanks. It also serves as extra holding capacity for oil as the transmissions heat up and the hydraulic oil Ignition Switch: The ignition switch starts and stops the expands.
To begin recording PTO hours, pull the PTO switch up to engage the PTO clutch. The unit's engine must be running. WARNING The mode icon will display a "P" and the hour glass icon will Do NOT load this zero-turn rider on a trailer or truck using flash.
turn the ignition switch to OFF immediately, and consult the engine operator's manual. Warm up the engine by running it for at least a minute before engaging the PTO switch or driving the unit. 4. After warming the engine always operate the unit at FULL throttle when mowing.

• Avoid mowing after rain or even heavy dew, and never The remainder of the mowing should be done in the opposite mulch when the grass is wet (moist grass does not mulch direction so that the clippings are dispersed OUT onto the well, and clumps beneath the mower deck).
The best mulching action typically results from cutting only the top 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of grass blade. This provides short clippings which decompose properly (much more quickly than longer clippings). The ideal cutting height will vary with climate, time of year, and quality of your lawn. We recommend that you experiment with both the cutting height and ground speed until you achieve the best cut.
Attaching a Trailer 1. Pull the hair pin clips (A, Figure 20) out of the retainer pins (B). The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less than 200 lbs (91kg). Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 21) and clip (B). Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) System - EFI Models 2. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. This will EFI is an electronically-controlled fuel management system allow for fuel expansion. which is monitored by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). A Note: Do not overfill.
