Controls

MOW PEDAL (Fig. 4)—Depressing the mow pedal FULLY
during operation lowers the cutting units and starts the reels.
BRAKE PEDAL (Fig. 4)—The brake pedal actuates an auto-
motive drum-type mechanical brake.
LIFT PEDAL (Fig. 4)—Depressing the lift pedal during opera-
tion stops the reels from turning and lifts the cutting units. The
lift pedal must be FULLY depressed until the cutting units are
fully raised and have stopped rotating.
PARKING BRAKE BUTTON (Fig. 4)—Depressing the brake
pedal to actuate the brake assembly, then depressing the parking
brake button will keep the brakes engaged for parking.
Disengage by depressing the brake pedal. Form the habit of
locking the parking brake before you leave the machine.
TRACTION PEDAL (Fig. 4)—The traction pedal makes the
machine move forward or backward. Depress the top of the
pedal to move forward and the bottom of the pedal to move
backward. Do not rest your heel on reverse when operating for-
ward (Fig. 5).
THROTTLE CONTROL (Fig. 6)—The throttle controls the
engine speed. Moving the throttle control toward FAST increas-
es engine rpm; moving the throttle toward SLOW decreases
engine rpm.
NOTE: You cannot stop the engine using the throttle control.
CHOKE (Fig. 6) —To start a cold engine, close the carburetor
choke by moving the choke control forward to the CLOSED
position. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the
engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke
by pulling it rearward to OPEN. A warm engine requires little
or no choking.
IGNITION SWITCH (Fig. 6)—Insert the key into the switch
and turn it clockwise to the START position to start the engine.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts. Turn the key
counter-clockwise to OFF to stop the engine.
AMMETER (Fig. 6)—The ammeter shows the rate of battery
charge and discharge.
NOTE: During normal operation there will be little or no move-
ment of the ammeter needle.
