Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped-this drains the battery.
Throttle Control
The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle
forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease
engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle
Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The left
lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right lever
controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of
the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases
the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section for steering
instructions.
Headlight
The headlight switch turns the headlights on and off.
Hour Meter
The hour meter measures the number of hours the PTO has
been engaged. The hour meter has a self contained power

towards the left, position the seat as desired, and release
the lever to lock the seat in position.
