FUNCTIONS OF COMPONENTS
Main switch ............................Start the engine or stall the engine with this switch by means of
remote control.
When the machine is not used remove and keep the key.
Accelerator lever .......................Increases and decreases engine speed.
Choke lever ............................When the lever is pulled, the choke valve closes, and when it is
returned, the choke valve opens. Pull the lever when starting the
engine and return it after the engine is started.
(In the case of CM1305, the choke lever is connected with the accel-
erator lever.)
HST lever ..............................The HST lever changes the discharge of the hydraulic pump in the
HST and changes the advancing direction and travelling speed in a
stepless way.
When pushing the lever forward from neutral position the machine
starts to move forward. Pulling the lever in reverse makes machine
drive backward. Speed increases as lever is depressed in either direc-
tion.
AUX. speed change lever ...............Use this lever when shifting speed to high/low levels.
Speed shift can be used while driving.
Brake pedal ............................Use to stop the machine.
When depressing brake pedal HST lever returns to neutral and stops
the machine.
Differential lock lever ..................Use this lever when slipping one side of the rear wheels.
When lever is pushed to "ON", the differential lock is engaged.
When lever is "OFF", the differential lock is released (normal driving
position).
During normal driving always put the lever to "OFF" position.
Light switch ............................Headlamp is turned on when switch is pulled.
Parking brake lock lever ................After stopping the machine, pull the lock lever downward to lock
brake pedal.
Blade height adjusting lever ..............Adjusts the height of blade (5 steps)
Blade clutch lever ......................Turns on and off the power of blade.
When putting this lever to "OFF" position, the cutter brake pulley is
engaged and the brake is applied.
Grass outlet ............................Secure area around machine before opening. Opening outlet allows
cut grass to be easily removed. Open outlet when changing cutter

6.1 PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATION
6.1.1 Fuel Handling
•Petrol (gasoline) fuel is flammable. Never
refuel or service the fuel system while smok-
ing or when near open flames or sparks.
•Never refuel the machine when the engine is
running
•After stopping engine, the engine becomes
hotter. Therefore fuel must be handled with
great care when refueling. Do not spill fuel
out of filler cap.
DANGER
1. Check the fuel gauge visually. If fuel is not reserved
enough, open the filler cap and pour fuel.
Fuel to be used : page 28
Fuel tank capacity : page 28
•When fuel gauge needle approaches empty
"E", refuel as soon as possible.
•When using the unit on slopes, refuel less
than the upper fuel limit for the fuel filter in
the lubrication port.
2. Close the filler cap firmly after refueling
