Steering Wheel Height Adjustment (If equipped) To adjust the height of the steering wheel: 1. Sit in the operator's seat and place your hands on the steering wheel. 2. Push the button (a) on the steering column and raise or lower the steering wheel to the desired position. See Figure 3-2. (a) Figure 3-2 Note: Once the desired position is achieved, lift up and down on the steering wheel to make sure it locks into place and the button (a) on the steering column releases into a locked position. Do not operate this riding mower unless the steering column is in a locked position. Setting the Cutting Height Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing the deck lift lever in any of the different cutting height notches on the right side of the fender. WARNING Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the cutting deck. Refer to Leveling the Deck in the Maintenance & Adjustments section of this manual for more detailed instructions regarding deck adjustment. Starting the Engine WARNING Do not operate the riding mower if the interlock system is malfunctioning. This system was designed for your safety and protection. Note: Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section of this manual for gasoline and oil fill-up instructions. 1. Insert the key into the ignition module. 2. Place the PTO lever in the disengaged (OFF) position. 3. Engage the riding mower's parking brake. 4. Activate the choke control (if equipped) by moving the throttle/choke control lever (if equipped) all the way forward into the choke position. 5. Turn the key clockwise to the START position. After the engine starts, release the key. It will return to the NORMAL MOWING MODE/RUN position. CAUTION 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 (if equipped) by placing the throttle/choke control (if equipped) into the FAST position. Note: Do NOT operate this riding mower with the choke control activated. Doing so will result in a "rich" fuel mixture and can cause the engine to run poorly. Stopping the Engine WARNING If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating. 1. If the blade is engaged, place the PTO lever in the disengaged (OFF) position. 2. Place the throttle/choke control (if equipped) or throttle control (if equipped) near the SLOW position. 3. Turn the key counter-clockwise to the STOP position. 4. Remove the key from the ignition module to prevent unintended starting. Driving the Riding Mower WARNING Avoid sudden starts, excessive speed and sudden stops. WARNING Do not leave the seat of the riding mower without first placing the PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the disengaged (OFF) position, depressing the clutch-brake pedal and engaging the parking brake. If leaving the riding mower unattended, also turn the ignition key OFF and remove the key. WARNING Always look down and behind before and while backing up to avoid a back-over accident. 1. Move the throttle/choke control (if equipped) or throttle control (if equipped) into the FAST position. 2. Place the shift lever in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position on 6-speed riding mowers. On hydro riding mowers, slowly engage the forward drive pedal to travel FORWARD until the desired speed is reached. To travel in REVERSE, slowly engage the reverse drive pedal until the desired speed is reached. 3. Depress the clutch-brake pedal and move the speed control lever out of the parking brake position and into the desired speed setting on 6-speed riding mowers. On hydro riding mowers depress the brake pedal and move the parking brake lever out of the parking brake position. 4. Release clutch-brake pedal slowly to put the riding mower in motion on 6-speed riding mowers. On hydro riding mowers slowly depress the forward or reverse drive pedal until the desired speed is reached. 5. The riding mower is brought to a stop by depressing the clutch-brake pedal or brake pedal. Important: Do NOT use the shift lever (if equipped) to change the direction of travel when the riding mower is in motion. Always use the clutch-brake pedal (if equipped) to bring the riding mower to a complete stop before shifting. Important: First-time operators should use speed positions 1 or 2 on the shift lever (if equipped). Become completely familiar with the riding mower's operation and controls before operating the riding mower at higher speeds. Note: When operating the riding mower initially, there will be little difference between the highest two speeds on the shift lever (if equipped) until after the belts have seated themselves into the pulleys during the break-in period. WARNING Before leaving the operator's position for any reason, disengage the blade, place the shift lever(if equipped) in neutral, engage the parking brake, shut engine OFF and remove the key. Important: When stopping the riding mower for any reason while on a grass surface, always: • Place the shift lever into neutral. • Engage the parking brake. • Shut the engine OFF and remove the key. Doing so will minimize the possibility of having your lawn ''browned'' by hot exhaust from your riding mower's running engine. If 6-speed riding mower stalls with speed control lever (if equipped) in high speed, or if riding mower will not operate with speed control lever (if equipped) in a low speed position, proceed as follows: • Place shift lever (if equipped) in NEUTRAL. • Restart engine. • Place speed control lever (if equipped) in highest speed position. • Release clutch-brake pedal (if equipped) fully. • Depress clutch-brake pedal (if equipped). • Place speed control lever (if equipped) in desired position. • Place shift lever (if equipped) in either FORWARD or REVERSE, and follow normal operating procedures.
