CONTROLS AND FEATURES

See figure 5 on page 11 for Controls and Features locations.

Safety Interlock System

Perform the following tests to ensure the safety interlock

system is working properly. If the unit does not perform as

stated, contact your Dealer for repairs.

1. Try to start the power unit when the operator is in the

seat, the mower PTO is off, and the left hand steering

control lever is not in the park position. Try to start the

power unit after switching the RH arm out of the park

position and putting the LH steering control lever into

the park position. Try starting the power unit after

taking both levers out of the park position. The starter

must not crank in any of these instances.

2. Try to start the power unit when the operator is in the

seat, the mower PTO is on, and the steering control

levers are in the park position. The starter must not

crank in this situation.

3. Try to start the power unit when the operator is not in

the seat and the steering control levers are in the park

position. The starter must not crank in this situation.

Checking the Engine Shut-Off Circuits

Check the engine shut-off circuits daily.

1. Run engine at 1/3 throttle, engage the mower PTO and

lift off of the seat. The engine should stop within 3

seconds.

2. Run engine at 1/3 throttle, engage the mower PTO,

move a steering control lever out of the neutral lock

and lift off of the seat. The engine should again stop

within 3 seconds. Repeat for the opposite steering

control lever.

NOTE: If the machine does not pass this test, DO NOT

OPERATE. Take it to your Ariens Dealer.

3. Move the steering lever rearward and release the

steering lever. This steering lever should return to a

position where the steering lever can be swung

outward and lock in the neutral outward position.

Steering Control Levers

The steering levers control the speed and direction of the

unit. In addition, they will stop the unit.

After starting the power unit, pull the steering control levers

back together out of the lock position and into the neutral

position.

A. For reverse travel, pull both steering control levers

backward.

B. For straight forward travel, push both steering control

levers forward.

C. To turn left, pull the left back or push the right steering

control lever forward or a combination of both.

D. To turn right, pull the left back or push the left steering

control lever forward or a combination of both.

NOTE: Aggressive turning can scuff or damage lawns.

ALWAYS keep both wheels rotating when making sharp

turns. DO NOT make turns with inside wheel completely

stopped. To obtain minimum turning radius, slowly reverse

inside wheel while moving the outside wheel slowly forward.
