CONTROLS
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is placed on the control panel
and is used to start and stop the engine.
Service Meter
The service meter displays the total number of
hours the engine has run and indicates when the
engine and mower need servicing.
After every 50 hours of operation, an oil can icon
will appear and stay on for two hours, before an
automatic reset occurs. To manually reset the
meter, turn the key off and on five times at one
second intervals. To service the engine and mower,
see the Service Journal of this manual.
NOTE: The service meter operates (clocks hours)
only when the ignition is on. Be sure to turn the key
off when the unit is not in use, to prevent meter
hours from accumulating.
Blade Switch
To engage the mower deck, pull the knob out;
mower blades are disengaged when the knob is
pressed down.
Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts to
provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture. For
cold starts, pull the control up.
Fuse
The 20 amp primary fuse is located on the left
hand side of the machine. It is accessed by tilting
the seat forward. The fuse is a flat pin type used
in automobiles.
Cutting Height Lever
To set the deck cutting height, pull the cutting
height lever inwards and move it to the desired
height notch.

deck to the highest position for transport.

even cutting height, it is important that the air
