Selecting Ground and Engine Speed
Ground speed is selected by releasing the clutch/brake
pedal (C, Figure 4) and moving the control lever (D) to the
appropriate speed selection. If the terrain is rough, hilly
or sloping, use first or second gear. If the grass is wet or
over 3" (76 mm) high, use full engine speed (with slow
ground speed) so the mower will have enough power to
cut the grass.
1. If you are ready to mow, lower the mower from the
transport position using lever (A) and set the mowing
height using the Dial-A-Cut
2. Set the engine throttle for full speed.
3. Use the PTO switch to engage the PTO.
4. Release the parking brake by depressing the clutch/
brake pedal and pushing knob (B) down.
5. Move the ground speed control lever (C) to the
desired direction and speed of travel to set the rider in
motion.
6. Adjust engine throttle to the desired speed. Full throt-
tle is recommended for mowing.
