OPERATION 5. When the machine is standing still, activate the park brake by pulling the lever upward. If the engine has been worked hard, allow it to idle a minute to attain a normal operating temperature before stopping. To prevent fouling the spark plugs, avoid idling the engine for longer periods. 6. Turn the ignition key to the stop position. 7. Remove key. Always remove key when leaving the mower to prevent unauthorized use. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Leaving the ignition switch in any other position than OFF will cause the battery to be discharged. Operating on Hills Read the Safety Instructions Driving on Slopes in the Safety Instructions. Weak Battery If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See Battery in the Maintenance section.) If jumper cables are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure: Jumper Cable Use 1. Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against chassis. 2. Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged battery. 3. Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the discharged battery, away from the fuel tank and battery. WARNING! Never drive the rider on terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow slopes up and down, never side to side. Avoid sudden directional changes. 1. Use the slowest speed possible before starting up or down hills. 2. Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. 3. If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull drive levers into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit and engage the park brake. 4. To restart movement, release the park brake. 5. Pull the control levers back to the center of the mower and press forward to regain forward motion. 6. Make all turns slowly. To remove cables, reverse order 1. Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery. 2. Remove RED cable last from both batteries. CAUTION! Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The mower is equipped with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not use your mower to start other vehicles. 19
