bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

installing or removing an extension spring. Always compress
or extend springs slowly.
ALWAYS maintain unit in safe operating condition. Damaged
or worn out muffler can cause fire or explosion.
Keep hardware, especially blade attachment bolts, tight.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
For unit storage or extended storage:
• NEVER store with fuel in fuel tank, inside a building
where any ignition sources are present.
• Allow engine to cool completely.
Use only attachments or accessories designed for your unit
and that can be used safely on your terrain.

or deterioration. Replace with manufacturer’s recommended
parts for safety.

SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Check Safety Interlock System
Test the safety interlock system at each operation. If the
system does not function properly, do not operate the unit
until repairs are made.
The engine will only start with the PTO disengaged. Pistol
grip models must have the shift lever in neutral for engine to
start.
988100, 102, 103, 110, 112
Engine must not start unless PTO is disengaged and the
shift lever is in neutral. To test:
1. With engine off, engage PTO.
2. Turn electric start model ignition switch to Start. Engine
must not crank.
Turn recoil start model ignition switch to On. Pull recoil
start handle. Engine must not start.
3. Disengage PTO.
The engine MUST stop whenever the operator removes
both hands from controls while the PTO or transmission is
engaged. To test:
1. Start engine and engage PTO.
2. Release operator presence control lever(s). Engine
must stop.
3. Disengage PTO.
4. Restart engine.
5. Place shift lever in Forward.
6. Release operator presence control lever. Engine must
stop.
988114, 115, 118, 119, 313
Blades must not rotate unless the operator presence control
levers and PTO are engaged. To Test:
1. With engine on, release operator presence controls
and engage PTO.
2. Blades must not rotate.
3. Disengage PTO.
The blades MUST stop whenever the operator removes both
hands from controls while the PTO is engaged. To test:
1. Start engine and engage PTO.
2. Release operator presence control lever(s). Blades
must stop.
NOTE: All motion must stop whenever operator releases
control levers.
Operator Presence Control (988100, 102, 103, 110,
112)
The operator presence control lever must be depressed to
operate the PTO or traction drive. When the shift lever or
PTO is engaged, releasing the operator presence control
lever stops the engine.
Operator Presence Control
(988114, 115, 118, 119, 313)
The operator presence control levers must be depressed to
operate the PTO. When the PTO is engaged, releasing the
operator presence control levers stops the mower blades.
Steering Levers (988100, 102, 103, 110, 112)
The steering levers are used to steer, operate in forward and
reverse, and stop the unit. When held in neutral, the brakes
are engaged.
Steering Lever Latches (988100, 102, 103, 110, 112)
The steering lever latches hold the steering levers in neutral
and apply the brakes.
OPERATION
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and
understand the entire Safety section before
proceeding.
DANGER: SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
FAILURE and improper operation of unit can
result in death or serious injury. ALWAYS know
the safety interlock system is operating
properly. See Check Safety Interlock System on
page 10 for testing instructions.
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY. Operate only when
operator presence control is functioning
correctly. See Check Safety Interlock System on
page 10 for testing instructions.
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. When the engine is
running and the shift lever is engaged, releasing
only one steering latch causes the unit to circle
around one drive wheel.
ALWAYS hold both steering levers in the neutral
position when releasing the steering lever
latches.
ALWAYS release levers slowly.
GB - 11
Control Levers (988114, 115, 118, 119, 313)
The control levers are used to steer, operate in forward and
reverse, and stop the unit. Push forward to move forward.
Shift into reverse and pull up on the lower control levers to
move in reverse. When held in neutral, the brakes are
engaged.
Ignition Switch (988100, 102, 103, 110, 112, 114,
115, 118, 119, 313)
Operate the ignition switch with the removable
key. The switch uses two positions: Off (1) and
On (2). To start the engine, turn the key to On
(2) and pull the recoil handle. To stop the
engine, turn the key to Off (1).
Throttle Lever
(988102, 103, 112, 115, 119)
The throttle lever changes the speed of the
engine. Move the throttle lever to Fast (1) to
increase engine speed. Move the lever to Slow
(2) to decrease engine speed.
Throttle/Choke Lever (988100, 110, 114, 118, 313)
The Throttle/Choke lever changes the speed of
the engine and chokes the engine for cold starts.
Place the lever in Choke (1) to start a cold engine.
Move the lever to Fast (2) to increase engine
speed. Move the lever to Slow (3) to decrease
engine speed.
Choke Control
(988102, 103, 112, 115, 119)
Use the choke control to start a cold engine. Pull
the control out to choke the engine. Push the
control in when the engine gets warm.
Shift Lever
The shift lever sets the direction and speed of the unit.
R = reverse
N = neutral
1 = the slowest forward speed
5 = the fastest forward speed.
PTO Clutch (988100, 102, 103, 110, 112)
Pull the PTO (power take off) switch On (1) to
engage the mower blades. Push the PTO
switch Off (2) to disengage the mower
blades.
PTO Clutch (988114, 115, 118, 119, 313)
Pull the PTO (power take off) switch past On (1) to Reset (2)
to engage the mower blades. Push the PTO switch Off (3) to
disengage the mower blades.
NOTE: Pull PTO switch to Reset (2) to engage mower
blades after operator presence control has been released.
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. When the engine is
running and the shift lever is engaged, moving
only one lever causes the unit to circle around
one drive wheel.
ALWAYS move levers slowly.

ADJUST BRAKES
NOTE: The traction belt must disengage as the brake starts
to engage.
1. Turn off the engine, remove the key and allow unit to
cool.
2. If brakes do not disengage fully when traction belt is
engaged, the brakes are too tight. Loosen the wing nut
(Figure 10).
3. If brakes do not engage fully when traction belt is
disengaged, the brakes are too loose. Tighten the wing
nut.
4. Start engine and test in low gear for proper brake
engagement.
REPLACE TRACTION BELTS
1. Turn off the engine, remove the key and allow unit to
cool.
2. Release the steering levers (988100, 102, 103, 110,
112).
3. Raise the rear of the unit so that the drive wheels are
off the ground.
4. Remove traction belt guard.
5. Remove clutch idler pulley spring (Figure 11).

11. Replace traction belt guard.
12. Lower the unit.
13. Check steering lever adjustment. See Adjust Steering
Levers on page 17.
ADJUST SHIFT LEVER LINKAGE
IMPORTANT: If the shift lever and the transmission detent
are improperly aligned, the transmission may fail
prematurely. Align the shift lever and detent as carefully as
possible. The .030 in. (.8mm) clearance helps prevent
premature wear of the detent plate and shift lever.
The transmission shift lever is attached to the transmission
shift arm with two 5/16-18 bolts (Figure 12).
To adjust:
1. Stop the engine. Remove ignition key. Put PTO lever in
the "OFF" position. Put the shift lever in neutral.
2. Loosen two 5/16-18 bolts on shift lever.
3. Align the shift lever so it is centered in gear position 2
on the detent plate and is .030 in. (.8mm) from the V
(Figure 13).
NOTE: If the shift lever cannot be adjusted to tolerance with
the shift lever hardware alone, loosen the hardware holding
the detent plate to the frame and adjust the detent plate to
tolerance.
4. Tighten bolts securely.
NOTE: Before starting unit, test the shift lever to make sure
it engages all gear positions.
