Hour Meter (J) 0.0 The hour meter is located on the upper section of the control panel to the right of the speed control lever. The hour meter records the hours that the mower has been operated in the digital display and service reminders (oil, lube) in the digital display. The hour meter is activated whenever the engine is running. Keep a record of the actual hours of operation to ensure all maintenance procedures are completed in according with the instructions in this Operator's Manual and the Engine Operator's Manual. The hour meter is equipped with a MODE button that can toggle between available functions and can be used to reset service alerts. Press and hold the MODE button for three (3) seconds while in service alert mode or when in a service alarm mode to reset. Note: When the engine is running the hourglass symbol is illuminated/blinks to indicate it is recording the hours of mower operation, regardless of whether the engine is started. Fuel Tank & Cap (K) F The fuel tank and cap are located on the right, rear side of the mower. Turn the fill cap to remove. The fuel cap is tethered to the mower to prevent its loss.

Push the cap downward on the fuel tank fill neck and turn clockwise until it clicks to tighten. Always re-install the fuel cap tightly onto the fuel tank after E removing. WARNING Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is running. If the engine is hot from recently running, allow to cool for several minutes before refueling. Highly flammable gasoline could splash onto the engine and cause a fire.

Transmission Bypass Levers (Not Shown) The transmission bypass valves (one for each the RH and LH transmission) are located above the rear of the deck under the floor panel. When engaged, the two valves open a bypass within the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the mower to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions on using the bypass feature. CAUTION Never tow your mower. Towing the mower with the rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions. Tracking Knob (Not shown) L R The tracking knob is located at the back of the mower under the right side of the control panel. The tracking knob is used to adjust mower creeping and/or mower tracking. See the Product Care section of this manual for more L R information.

Operation Starting the Engine WARNING Never run the engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly, odorless gas. Refer to the Set-Up & Assembly section of this manual for gasoline and oil fill-up instructions. Make certain you thoroughly understand all of the safety precautions before you attempt to operate this machine. Move the mower outdoors to a "test area" where you can operate the mower for about half an hour without being disturbed. After the first full day of mowing, all nuts, bolt and screws should be rechecked for proper tightness and the belts should be rechecked for proper tension. 1.
