Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the
engine. The switch has three positions: “O” is the
OFF position, “I” is the ON (RUN) position that the
key returns to after starting, and is the START
position. When starting the engine, turn the key
clockwise to the START position. Do not hold the
key in the START position longer than 10 seconds.
If the engine does not start, return the key to the
“O” position for at least 60 seconds before making
a restart attempt. Prolonged cranking can damage
the starter motor and shorten battery life. Release
the key when the engine starts, and it will return to
the ON (RUN) position. To stop the engine, rotate
the key counterclockwise to the “O” position.

Warning Horn
The warning horn sounds to alert the operator that
an unsafe engine condition is being indicated—
when engine temperature is too high or engine oil
pressure is too low. If the horn sounds, check the
indicator lights and correct the problem before
further operation.
Circuit Breaker
One manual reset 7 amp circuit breaker is located
on the instrument panel. A button pops out if the
circuit breaker trips. The circuit breaker protects
the safety circuits and GHS. In addition, an auto
reset 30 amp master circuit breaker is located near
the battery, and a 10 amp fuse protects the ECU.
STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION
Before operating the mower, read and un-
derstand all Safety Instructions and Operat-
ing Instructions.
WARNING
NEVER run the engine in an enclosed or
poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless
and deadly gas.
1. Before attempting to start the engine, make
sure the operator is in the seat, the Forward
Speed Control is in NEUTRAL-PARK position,
the parking brake is ENGAGED, and the blade
clutch is DISENGAGED.
CAUTION
A safety interlock switch system PRE-
VENTS CRANKING the engine with any one
of these three controls in the OPERATING
position: (1) Forward Speed Control out of
neutral, (2) blade clutch (PTO) engaged, or
(3) parking brake disengaged. If the engine
cranks otherwise, the safety system is not
working and should be repaired or ad justed
before operating the mower. DO NOT dis-
connect safety switches; they are for the
operator’s protection.
2. Move the throttle 1/4 to 1/2 open (toward
FAST). Turn the ignition switch to the START
position to start the engine. Release the key
to ON (RUN) position as soon as the engine
starts.
