The electric start model includes all the
features of the manual starting model.
The different features between the two
models are listed here.
1. Electric Start switch: On electric
start models only. This switch en-
gages the starter. When starting
use short bursts. Long periods of
use can damage the starter.
2. Battery Housing: The battery is
nestled above the engine in this
housing.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or prop-
erty damage: Shut off engine, dis-
connect spark plug wire, and make
sure that all moving parts have come
to a complete stop, before servic-
ing, adjusting or repairing.
6. Gearshift control: This control shifts
the self-propelled transmission
between five forward gears and one
reverse gear. To avoid premature
transaxle failure use the clutch
when shifting the machine out of
neutral, or between the reverse and
forward setting. The clutch does
not need to be used when shifting
between forward gears, unless un-
der heavy load.

disengages the beater bar.
8. Beaterbar height adjuster: Adjusts
the height of the beater bar.

sure the handles are locked be-
fore operating. Refer to the decal
(14036-00) for specific instructions
on using the air shut off and re-
moving the tub.
10. Inlet Door Adjuster (not shown):
Adjusts how much debris enters
the beater bars, and thereby the
level of compaction.
