MOWER OPERATION (CONT'D)

PULL UP TO ENGAGE

PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE

390S0138

-NOTE-

When PTO is engaged or (possibly) disengaged, a squealing sound from the underside of the machine is normal. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to speed. For best equipment life, engage the clutch with the engine at 3/4 throttle, not under full load.

WARNING:

To avoid serious bodily injury and damage to the transmission, the machine must be at a full stop before shifting between gears or shifting between forward and reverse.

5.Shift the transmission into gear for the desired mowing speed.

-NOTE-

Top speed is suggested only for transport!

6.While squeezing the steering brake levers with both hands, release both neutral latches.

7.When the steering brake levers are released, the machine will travel straight. To make a right turn, squeeze the RH lever. To turn left, squeeze the LH lever.

8.TO STOP, squeeze both levers, lock the neutral latches, and shift the transmission into neutral.
