Operating On Hills

Read the Safety Instructions Driving on Slopes in the Safety
section.
• The slowest speed possible should be used before starting
up or down hills.
• Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.
• If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull steering controls
into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit.
Engage the park brake.
• To restart movement, release the park brake.
• Pull the control levers back to the center of the mower and
press forward to regain forward motion.
• Make all turns slowly.
WARNING! Do not drive up or down hills with slopes
greater than 10 degrees. Do not drive across slopes.

Headlights

Use Button 2 to turn on/off the headlights. When the
engine is in start mode, press the button to turn the
headlights on. A blinking Button 2 light signals that one
or both headlights are not working.
The headlights can also be used when the ignition
switch is not activated or the unit is not running. Press
Button 2 and the headlights will stay lit for one minute.
For a longer headlight mode, press and hold the button
for five seconds. The headlights will flash twice to
acknowledge and will stay on for five minutes.
OPERATION
Weak Battery
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged. (See Battery in the Maintenance section.)
If jumper cables are used for emergency starting, follow this
procedure:

Jumper Cable Use

1. Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+)
terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against
chassis.
2. Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-)
terminal of the fully charged battery.
3. Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a good
CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the discharged
battery, away from the fuel tank and battery.
To remove cables, reverse order
1. Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the
fully charged battery.
2. Remove RED cable last from both batteries.
CAUTION! Lead-acid batteries generate explosive
gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away
from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around
batteries.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The mower is equipped
with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle
must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not
use your mower to start other vehicles.
