Pre-start
The steering system of this mower uses indvidual right
and left traction levers on the handle bars. Squeezing
the traction lever will reduce tension on the wheel drive
belt eliminating power to that wheel. With the opposite
wheel still under power a turn is accomplished. If the
traction lever is squeezed even tighter the brake will be
applied to that wheel and a tighter more abrupt turn is
accomplished. LEARN HOW TO USE THESE
IMPORTANT STEERING/BRAKE CONTROLS!
As an additional safety feature, these mowers are
equipped with an Operators Presence System. This is
an electrical interlock safety system which is activated
by depressing either one or both of the Operator
Presence Levers above the handle grips. Releasing
both Operators Presence Levers while mowing or
transporting will break the electrical circuit and cause
the engine and mower to stop. The mower will not stop
imediately after releasing the O.P. levers, some travel
does occur.

The interlock modules function is to prevent the engine
from starting if the blade and/or traction systems are
engaged. It also causes engine shutdown if the operator
falls from, or attempts to leave the operator position
while the blades or traction drives are engaged. After
the engine starts, the operator must hold either the left or
right O.P. lever down before engaging the blades or
shifting the transmission into gear. If niether O.P. lever is
held the engine will stop.

The cutter housing assembly is designed with a slip fit
inner race and pulley. The sole purpose of the setscrew
in the pulley is to hold the housing assembly together.
The setscrew is not ment to secure the pulley. The
pulley is secured by pinching the pulley to the inner race
of the bearings using the blade bolt and nut. Tighten the
setscrews after you have pinched the assembly together
with the blade bolt and nut.
Each cutter spindle on 48" Models have a different stack
up of spacers and pulleys, to achieve proper belt
alignment. The left cutter spindle on 48" Models is the
same as 32" and 36" Models. See figure #8 (Refer to
the Kutter parts manual when ordering parts.)

To prepare your Yazoo/Kees mower for winter storage,
perform the routine maintenance and necessary
adjustments and record the part numbers of worn or
broken parts so they may be ordered and replaced
before the next mowing season. Use only authentic
Yazoo/Kees replacement parts to insure proper fit and
the saftey of your mower is maintained.
Treat the fuel in the tank with a fuel stablizer (such as
STA-BIL). This will minimize the formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. Read and follow the mix ratio
on the container. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes
after adding the stablizer to bring it into the carburetor.
