Electric Blade Clutch Switch: (See Figure 
1.) Located on the right side of the mower 
beside the ignition switch. This is an “on/off” 
push-pull switch that controls the electric 
blade clutch which supplies power to the cut-
ting blades through the PTO. The switch must 
be turned off to start the engine and should 
be turned off for safety any time another per-
son approaches the mower or the mowing 
deck is raised to the transport position. Power 
to the electric clutch will also be cut off if the 
operator leaves the operator’s seat.

Parking Brake: (See Figure 3.) Located on 
the left side of the traction unit. The handle is 
an overcenter lever which applies the drum 
brakes on the drive wheels when the handle is 
pulled to the rear. The brake must be engaged 
in order to start the engine.

7. Fuel Shutoff Valve: (See Figure 4.) Located
on top of each fuel tank. When turned in a 
clockwise direction until it stops, it will shut off 
the flow of fuel to the engine. When turned in 
a counterclockwise direction it will open and 
allow fuel to flow to the engine. Close this 
valve if you are not going to run the mower for 
a period of 30 minutes or more to prevent 
flooding the engine.

operation the Choke should be in the OFF 
(down) position.
