Section 4

-NOTE-

Smooth operation of the steering levers will produce smooth mower operation. While learning the operation of the steering controls, keep the travel speed low.

-IMPORTANT-

Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower will hang up on the curb. Raise the deck and travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree angle. (see section 4.13 for cutter deck raising instructions)

Reverse Travel

CAUTION:

Disengage power to the mower before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower.

CAUTION:

Before backing up, observe the rear for persons and obstructions. Clear the area before backing up. Possible injury or property damage could occur.

To travel in reverse, pull both handles back. Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.

-NOTE-

The mower will not travel straight in reverse. Slight adjustments must be made using the steering controls.

To steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the mower will turn right.

To stop the reverse travel, allow the steering control levers to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to be parked, engage the parking brake.

4.6ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER BLADES)

1.Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine speed when engaging the deck drive.

2.Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow switch, located on the instrument panel, (Figure 4-3) to the engage position.

-NOTE-

A squealing noise may be heard when engaging or disengaging the deck drive. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to speed.

3.To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to the disengage position.

4.Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine to operate at maximum RPM.
