Controls Become familiar with all the controls (Fig. 12) before you start the engine and operate the machine. Throttle control – The throttle control has three positions: CHOKE, FAST and SLOW. Operator Presence Control (OPC) levers – OPC levers are used in conjunction with deck engagement switch (PTO) to release blade brake and engage clutch to drive mower blades.
4. When engine starts, move the throttle control between the “FAST” and “Slow” position. Allow engine to warm up and then move the throttle control to the “FAST” position. Stopping 1. Move the throttle lever to “SLOW” (Fig. 13). Note: If the engine has been working hard or is hot, let it idle for a minute before turning the ignition key “OFF.”...
1. Push the blade control switch (PTO) to off (Fig. 15). 5. Release the OPC levers. The engine should kill. 2. Release Operator Presence Control (OPC) levers to 6. With the engine running, move the speed control lever disengage blades (Fig. 15). This will also kill the forward.
Bringing Machine to Neutral 2. Loosen jam nuts and rotate by-pass valves open 5 turns to push. This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the Position pump and the wheels to turn (Fig. 17). Always set the neutral lock when you stop the machine. Important Rotate by-pass valve a maximum of 5 turns Chock or block wheels if it is left unattended.
Side Discharge or Mulch Grass Note: Spare height–of–cut spacers may be stored on posts and retained by a hairpin cotter. This mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. Danger Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.

Bleeding Hydraulic System 3. Place drain pan under filter, remove the old filter and wipe the filter adapter gasket surface clean (Fig. 36). The traction system is self bleeding, however, it may be necessary to bleed the system if fluid is changed or after work is performed on the system.
Test Procedure Important By–pass valve adjustment is very sensitive, do not adjust more than 1/6 turn (one flat) at a time. 1. Start engine and run for 5 minutes at 3/4 throttle, to 6. If the machine is too aggressive or tends to jump warm hydraulic fluid.
Adjust Neutral Control Linkages Warning Engine must be running so control linkage adjustments can be performed. Contact with moving parts or hot surfaces may cause personal injury. Keep hands, feet, face, clothing and other body m–5398 parts away from rotating parts, muffler and other Figure 39 hot surfaces.
6. If the wheel turns while holding the drive lever in Warning neutral, the neutral control linkages need to be adjusted (Fig. 41). If wheel stops then go to step 12. Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to support 7. Loosen the nut against the neutral control linkage yoke machine and cause a serious injury.
5. Turn the knob clockwise 1/4 of a turn at a time. Then move the speed control forward and back to neutral. Repeat this until right wheel stops rotating forward (Fig. 44). 6. The spring that keeps tension on the knob should normally not need adjustment.
2. Lengthen the rod if the tire is turning in reverse and shorten the rod if the tire is turning forward. 3. Rotate the rod several turns if the tire is rotating fast. Then, adjust the rod in 1/2 turn increments. 4.
Fuse Service parts water and one part baking soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Service Interval/Specification Voltage: 12 v, 300 Cold Cranking Amps The electrical system is protected by a fuse. It requires no maintenance.
