Safety Interlock System
The safety interlock system is designed for safe operation of the tractor. If this
system should ever malfunction, do not operate the tractor, immediately contact
1-800-4-MY-HOME to have the system serviced.
•
The safety interlock system prevents the engine from starting unless
the parking brake is engaged and the PTO (Blade Engage) lever is in the
disengaged (OFF) position.
•
The safety interlock system will automatically shut off the engine if the
operator leaves the seat before engaging the parking brake.
•
The safety interlock system will automatically shut off the engine if the
operator leaves the tractor's seat with the PTO (Blade Engage) lever engaged,
regardless of whether the parking brake is engaged.

Fully depress the parking parking brake pedal and hold it down with your
foot.
2.
Move the parking brake lever all the way down and into the parking brake
(ON) position.
3.

Setting the Cutting Height
1.
Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing the deck lift lever in
any of the six different cutting height notches on the right side of the fender.
2.
Adjust the deck wheels so that they are between ¼-inch and ½-inch above
the ground when the tractor is on a smooth, flat surface such as a driveway.
3.
Adjust the deck wheels by removing the flange lock nut and shoulder bolt
that secures each wheel and moving it into one of the holes that allows
the wheels to be between ¼-inch and ½-inch above the ground when the
tractor is on a smooth, flat surface such as a driveway. See Figure 9.
OPERATION
Figure 9
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not designed
to support the weight of the cutting deck. Refer to Leveling in the Service and
Maintenance section of this manual for more detailed instructions regarding various
deck adjustments.
Starting the Engine
Do not operate the tractor if the interlock system is malfunctioning. This system
was designed for your safety and protection.
NOTE: Refer to the Gasoline and Oil fill-up instructions earlier in this section.
1.
Insert the tractor key into the ignition switch.
2.
Place the PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the disengaged (OFF) position.
3.
Engage the tractor's parking brake.
4.
Activate the choke control by moving the throttle/choke lever all the way up
into the choke position.
5.
Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START position. After the engine starts,
release the key. It will return to the ON (or Normal Mowing) position. See
Figure 10.
Do NOT hold the key in the START position for longer than ten seconds at a time.
Doing so may cause damage to your engine's electric starter.
6.
After the engine starts, deactivate the choke control and place the throttle
control in the FAST position.
NOTE: Do NOT leave the choke control on while operating the tractor. Doing so will
result in a "rich" fuel mixture and cause the engine to run poorly.
