CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.

 

Motion Control Levers

Engine Speed Control

 

These levers control the ground speed and direction of the rider. The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right controls the right rear drive wheel.

Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases the REVERSE speed.

The further a lever is moved away from the neutral posi- tion the faster the drive wheel will turn.

See the OPERATION section for steering instructions.

The engine speed control controls engine speed. Move the engine speed control forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL engine speed.

Choke

Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require chok- ing. Move the lever forward to close the choke. Move the lever back to open the choke.
