Electrical and Power Take-Off
The electrical system operates on 12 volts with a negative ground. The battery is rated at 195 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), and the engine is started via an electric starter system. For implement operation, the mower features an independent mid-mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) engaged by an electric clutch.
