tion control to start and stop the rotation of the
blade.
Clutch / Brake Pedal (2): The pedal has two
functions. The first function is a clutch. The sec-
ond function is a brake.
Ignition Switch (3): Use the ignition switch to
start and stop the engine.
Shift Lever (4): Use the shift lever to change
the speed and the direction of the unit.
Lift Lever (5): Use the lift lever to change the
height of cut.
Parking Brake Lever (6): Use the parking brake
lever to engage the brake when you leave the
unit.
Throttle Control Lever (7): Use the throttle
control lever to increase or decrease the speed
of the engine.
Speed Control Pedal (8): Use the speed con-
trol pedal to change the speed of the unit.
Attachments
This unit can use many different attachments.
This unit can pull attachments like a lawn
sweeper, a lawn aerator, or a hopper spreader.
This unit can not use attachments that engage
the ground like a plough, a disk harrow, or a
cultivator.
For trailer and pull–behind attachments, the
maximum weight is 90 kg (200 lbs.).
To avoid possible serious injury, do
not mow a slope that is greater
than 15 degrees. If the riding mow-
er is used with a pull-behind or rear-
mounted attachment, do not operate the
unit on a slope that is greater than 10 de-
grees.

How To Use The Throttle Control
(Figure 4 and Figure 5)
Use the throttle/choke control (7) to increase
or decrease the speed of the engine.
1. Move the throttle/choke control (7) com-
pletely forward to the CHOKE position to
start a cold engine.
2. The FAST position is marked with a detent.
For normal operation and when using a
grass bagger, move the throttle control to the
FAST position. For maximum charging of the
battery and for a cooler running engine, oper-
ate the engine in the FAST position.
3. The engine governor is set at the factory for
maximum performance. Do not adjust the
governor to increase the speed of the en-
gine.
How To Use The Blade Rotation Control
(Figure 4 and Figure 6)
Use the blade rotation control (1) to engage
the blade(s).
1. Before you start the engine, make sure the
blade rotation control (1) is in the DISEN-
GAGE position (8).
2. To rotate the blade, move the blade rotation
control (1) forward to lock the blade in the
ENGAGE position (9).
3. To stop the blade, move the blade rotation
control (1) to the DISENGAGE position (8).
Before you leave the operator's position,
make sure the blade(s) has stopped rotating.
4. Before you ride the unit across a sidewalk or
a road, move the blade rotation control (1)
to the DISENGAGE position.
WARNING: Always keep your
hands and feet away from the
blade, deflector opening, and the
mower housing when the engine runs.
How To Use The Speed Control Pedal
(Figure 7)
The drive system uses a variator pulley con-
nected to a two speed transaxle. The Variator
Drive is very easy to operate. This type of drive
system has a two speed shift lever (4), a
clutch/brake pedal (2) on the left side and a
speed control pedal (8) on the right side.
The direction of travel is controlled by the shift
lever (4). Use the shift lever (4) to select either
reverse or one of the two forward gears. When
operating, the speed is controlled by a single
speed control pedal (8) operated with your
right foot.
How To Drive Forward
1. (Figure 7) Completely push the clutch/
brake pedal (2) forward to stop the unit.
Keep your foot on the pedal (2).
2. (Figure 9) Move the shift lever (4) to one of
the TWO FORWARD positions. Select Low
position (TRIM) when going up or down
steep hills and when operating attachments
that require a very slow forward speed. Se-
lect High position (MOW) when mowing or
when transporting the unit.
3. (Figure 7) Slowly release your right foot from
the clutch/brake pedal (2). Do not keep
your foot on the clutch/brake pedal (2).

4. (Figure 8) Move the throttle control (7) to
the FAST position.
5. (Figure 4) Slowly push the speed control
pedal (8) forward to the desired speed.
6. To increase forward speed, slowly move the
speed control pedal (8) forward. To reduce
forward speed, slowly release the speed
control peda (8) until the unit slows to the
desired speed.
How To Change Direction
CAUTION: Before you move the shift lever,
completely push the clutch/brake pedal for-
ward to the stop the unit. If the unit is not
stopped, the gearbox can be damaged.
1. (Figure 7) Completely push the clutch/
brake pedal (2) forward to stop the unit.
Keep your foot on the pedal (2).
2. (Figure 8) Move the throttle control lever
(7) to the SLOW position.
3. (Figure 9) To go forward, move the shift
lever (4) to one of the TWO FORWARD
positions. To go backward, move the shift
lever (4) to the REVERSE position.
4. (Figure 7) Slowly release your left foot from
the clutch/brake pedal (2). Do not keep
your foot on the clutch/brake pedal (2).
5. (Figure 8) Move the throttle control (7) to
the FAST position.
How To Drive In Reverse
1. Look to the rear.
2. (Figure 7) Completely push the clutch/
brake pedal (2) forward to stop the unit.
Keep your foot on the pedal (2).
3. (Figure 9) Move the shift lever (4) to the
REVERSE position.
4. (Figure 7) Slowly release the clutch/brake
pedal (2).
5. (Figure 4) Slowly push the speed control
pedal (8) forward to the desired speed.
6. To increase reverse speed, slowly move the
speed control pedal (8) forward. To reduce
