There are two fuses with ratings and functions: 20 Amp Primary fuse 7. 5 Amp Mower deck coupling 8011-420 Fuses FuelShutOffValve The fuel shut off valve is located at the left rear of the seat. The valve is off when the handle tab is turned perpendicular to the fuel line. 8011-419 Fuel shut off valve in the CLOSED position 23 OPERATION Read the Safety section and following pages, if you are unfamiliar with the machine. Pull back on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this will allow mower to start moving backwards. Push forward on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving. Toturntotheright While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction. Toturntotheleft While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction. Tozeroturn While moving in a forward direction, first pull both control levers back until the mower stops or slows dramatically. Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward position and the other in the reverse position, achieve a zeroturn in the direction of the forward lever. Training Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steering capabilities. We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety prior to attempting to move the mower under its own power. 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. Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery. Remove RED cable last from both batteries. 28 OPERATION Running 1. When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine. Move the steering controls to the neutral position (N).

When both controls are in the neutral position, the machine stands still. [. . . ] Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt engine function. Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to the sticky residues that can occur during storage. Always use the mixing ratios specified by the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that it reaches the carburetor. [. . . ]
