OPERATION

B. TRANSMISSION BYPASS LEVER/RODS

WARNING

Do not tow the mower, even with the bypass valves engaged.

Serious transmission damage will result from doing so.

1.

Parker Transmission ²if equipped³

- The transmission bypass lever

is located next to the LH console to the left of the operator’s seat.

When engaged the valves open a bypass within the hydrostatic

transmissions. Refer to the Set-Up section for instructions on using

the bypass feature.

2.

Hydro

-

Gear Transmission ²if equipped³ ±

The transmission bypass rods (one for each RH

and LH transmission) are located on the rear of

the mower, below the engine. When engaged,

the two rods open a bypass within the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows

the mower to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer to the Set-Up section

for additional instructions.

C. IGNITION SWITCH

The ignition switch is located on the RH console to the right

of the throttle control. The ignition switch has three positions

as follows:

OFF — The engine and electrical system are turned off.

ON — The mower electrical system is energized.

START — The starter motor will turn over the engine. Release the key immediately

when the engine starts.

NOTE:

To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge, remove the key from

the ignition switch when the mower is not in use.

D. POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) KNOB

The PTO knob is located on the RH console to the right of the

operator’s seat.

The PTO knob operates the electric PTO clutch mounted on

the bottom of the engine crankshaft. Pull the knob upward

to engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob downward to

disengage the clutch.

The PTO knob must be in the OFF position when starting

the engine.

E. HOUR METER & SERVICE MINDER (IF EQUIPPED)

The hour meter and service minder is located on the RH console to the right of the

operator’s seat. It records the hours that the mower has been operated and engine

speed (RPM) in the digital display.

Hour Meter ±if equipped²

The hour meter is activated whenever the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position. Keep a record

of the actual hours of operation to assure all

maintenance procedures are completed according to the

instructions in this Operator’s Manual and the Engine

Operator’s Manual.

NOTE:

This Operator’s Manual covers several models. Mower features may vary by

model. Not all features in this manual are applicable to all mower models and the

mower depicted may differ from yours.

NOTE:

All references in this manual to the left or right side and front or back of the

machine are from the operating position only. Exceptions, if any, will be specified.

A. RH AND LH DRIVE CONTROL LEVERS

The RH and LH control levers are located on each side of the operator’s seat. These

hinged levers pivot outward to open space to permit the operator to either sit in the

mower seat, or to dismount the mower. The levers must be fully opened out and in

the neutral position to start the mower engine.

Each lever controls the respective RH or LH transmission. These levers control all of

the movements of the mower. Driving and steering utilizing these control levers is

quite different from conventional mowers, and will take some practice to master.

Refer to Driving the Mower for instructions on using the control levers.
