4. Electric Blade Clutch Switch: (See Figure 1.) Located on the
right side of the mower behind the ignition switch. This is an “on/
off” toggle switch that controls the electric blade clutch which sup-
plies power to the cutting blades through the PTO. The switch must
be turned off to start the engine and should be turned off for safety
any time another person 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.
5. Parking Brake: (See Figure 3.) Located on the left side of the trac-
tion unit. The handle is an overcenter lever which applies the inter-
nal drum-type brake on each drive wheel when the handle is pulled
to the rear. The brake must be engaged in order to start the engine.
6. Deck Lift Handle: (See Figure 3.)

the mowing deck.To raise the mowing
deck to the transport position, the
lever is pulled to the rear and moved
inward to lock into a stop for trans-
port. To lower the mowing deck, raise
the deck lift handle and move it out-
ward. This allows the handle to move
forward, lowering the deck to the cut-
ting position.

Located on top of the 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 coun-

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.
