To make a right-hand turn: Gently squeeze the right-hand steering control lever. A sharp or gentle turn is determined by the amount of force applied to the steering control lever. NOTE: ALWAYS REDUCE SPEED IN A TURN For normal use, the throttle should be kept fully open and the ground speed of the machine determined by the speed control lever. When transporting the machine or when loading or unloading from a truck or trailer, partial throttle should be used to slow the reaction time of the controls and reduce noise. Practice maneuvering the machine at a slow engine speed on level ground with the blade engagement switch in the "OFF" position until you are familiar with the controls. 11 Operating the Dual Drive Walk-Behind MOWING Before mowing, set the cutting height as described in the Troubleshooting, Adjustments & Servicesection. 1. Engage the parking brake. Make sure the PTO switch is disengaged and the motion control lever is in the NEUTRAL position. 2. Start the engine (see STARTING THE ENGINE). 3. Set the throttle to FULL. 4. Engage the PTO by pulling up on the PTO switch (E, Figure 1). 5. Begin mowing. See Lawn Caresection for tips on mowing patterns, lawn care, and trouble shooting information. 6. When finished, shut off the PTO. 7. Stop the engine (see STOPPING THE TRACTOR AND ENGINE). PUSHING THE MOWER BY HAND DO NOT TOW MACHINE Towing the machine will cause hydraulic transaxle damage. Do not use another vehicle to push or pull this unit. 1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn the ignition OFF, and remove the key. 2. To disengage the transmissions (free-wheel position), lift the hydraulic release levers (A, Figure 3) located in front of the transmission fan screen. Lock into position shown in Figure 3. 3. Disengage the parking brake. The mower can now be pushed by hand. 4. After moving the mower, re-engage the transmissions (drive position) by unlocking the levers and returning them to the down position. If the levers are not completely down, a partial by-pass may potentially damage the transmissions. A Figure 3. Hydraulic System By-Pass A.

Fuel vapor is also toxic if inhaled, so never store the unit in any structure used for human or animal habitation. Here is a checklist of things to do when storing your unit temporarily or in between uses: • Keep the unit in an area away from where children may come into contact with it. If there’s any chance of unauthorized use, remove the spark plug (s) and put in a safe place. Be sure the spark plug opening is protected from foreign objects with a suitable cover. • If the unit can’t be stored on a reasonable level surface, chock the wheels. • Clean all grass and dirt from the mower. Long Term Storage (Longer Than 30 Days) Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules section, then perform the following steps: 1. Drain crankcase oil while engine is hot and refill with a grade of oil that will be required when unit is used again. 2. Prepare the mower deck for storage as follows: a. Remove mower deck from the unit. b. Clean underside of mower deck. c. Coat all bare metal surfaces with paint or light coat of oil to prevent rusting. 3. Clean external surfaces and engine. 4. Prepare engine for storage. See engine owner’s manual. 5. Clean any dirt or grass from cylinder head cooling fins, engine housing and air cleaner element. 6. Cover air cleaner and exhaust outlet tightly with plastic or other waterproof material to keep out moisture, dirt and insects. 7. Completely grease and oil unit as outlined in the Normal Care section. 8. Clean up unit and apply paint or rust preventative to any areas where paint is chipped or damaged. 9. Be sure the battery is filled to the proper level with water and is fully charged. Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month. If battery is left in unit, disconnect the negative cable. WARNING Never store the unit, with gasoline in engine or fuel tank, in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly ventilated enclosures. Gasoline fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light (such as a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.) and cause an explosion. Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and careless use could result in serious fire damage to your person or property. Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors away from open flame or sparks. 10. Drain fuel system completely or add a gasoline stabilizer to the fuel system. If you have chosen to use a fuel stabilizer and have not drained the fuel system, follow all safety instructions and storage precautions in this manual to prevent ...
