Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has three positions, Off, Run and
Start. The key will turn to Start and move back to
Run upon release. Turning the key to the Off position
will stop the engine; however, always remove the key
when leaving the machine to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine (Figure 5).
Throttle/Choke Control
The throttle and choke is combined into one control
lever. The throttle controls the engine speed and it has a
continuous variable setting from Slow to Fast. Engage
the choke by moving the lever past the Fast setting until
it stops (Figure 5).
Blade Control Switch (Power Take-Off)
The blade control switch, represented by a power
take-off (PTO) symbol, engages and disengages power
to the mower blades (Figure 5).
Motion Control Levers and Park
Position
The motion control levers are speed sensitive controls of
independent wheel motors. Moving a lever forward or
backward turns the wheel on the same side fonvard or in
reverse; wheel speed is proportional to the amount the
lever is moved. Move the control levers outward from
the center to the park position and exit the machine
(Figure 15). Always position the motion control levers
into the park position when you stop the machine or
leave it unattended.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel vdndow located below the operator position
