Operation - Simplicity Coronet Mode D'emploi

Operation

Important! Before You Start Mowing
• Check the engine oil.
• Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
• Check the air pressure of the tires.
• Check the level of the mower housing.
• Attach the battery cables.
Use the Throttle Control
Use the throttle control to increase or decrease the
speed of the engine.
1. Move the throttle/choke control completely forward
to the CHOKE position to start a cold engine
(see Figure 7).
2. The FAST position is marked with a detent. For
normal operation and when using a grass bagger,
move the throttle control to the FAST position. For
maximum charging of the battery and for a cooler
running engine, operate the engine in the
FAST position.
3. The engine governor is set at the factory for
maximum performance. Do not adjust the governor
to increase the speed of the engine.
Use the Blade Rotation Control
Use the blade rotation control to engage the blade(s).
1. Before you start the engine, make sure the blade
rotation control is in the DISENGAGE position
(see Figure 8).
WARNING
Always keep your hands and feet away from
the blade, deflector opening, and the mower
deck when the engine runs.
2. To engage the blade, pull the blade rotation control
upward to the ENGAGE position.
NOTE: This model is equipped with a bag full
indicator. With the blade rotation control engaged, a
buzzer will sound when the bag is full.
3. To stop the blade, move the blade rotation control
to the DISENGAGE position. Before you leave the
operator's position, make sure the blade(s) has
stopped rotating.
4. Before you ride the unit across a sidewalk or a
road, move the blade rotation control to the
DISENGAGE position.

Attachments
This unit can use attachments like a dump cart and a
dethatcherizer. This unit cannot use attachments that
engage the ground like a plough, a disk harrow,
or a cultivator.
For the dump cart, the maximum weight is 90 kg
(200 lbs).
Install the Mulcher Cover
The mulcher cover lets you mulch the grass for a clean,
fine cut. Install as follows.
1. Follow the steps shown in Figure 9 to remove the
rear discharge chute and chute extension.
2. Mount the mulcher cover (1) to the mower deck
with the bolts (4), washers (2), and flange locknuts
(3) (see Figure 10).
3. For mulching operation, install mulch blade as an
accessory part. See authorized dealer.
Use the Speed Control Pedals
The drive system uses a Hydrostatic Automatic Drive
Transmission. The hydrostatic transmission is very
easy to operate. This type of drive system does not
require a shift lever or a clutch pedal.
The speed and direction of travel is controlled by a
forward speed control pedal and reverse speed control
pedal operated with your right foot.
NOTE: Do not use the brake pedal in normal operation.
Only use the brake pedal to quickly stop in
an emergency.
DRIVE FORWARD
1. The automatic drive disconnect must be in the
DRIVE position (see A, Figure 11).
2. Slowly release your foot from the brake pedal
(see Figure 12).
3. Move the throttle control to the FAST position
(see Figure 7).
4. Slowly push the forward speed control pedal (1) to
enable forward ground speed (see Figure 13).
5. To increase forward speed, slowly push down on
the forward speed control pedal. To reduce forward
speed, slowly release the forward speed control
pedal until the unit slows to the desired speed.
