Operating the Mower

To Propel Unit Forward:

IMPORTANT NOTE

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, SUCH AS

LOSS OF CONTROL OR POTENTIAL COLLISION, RELEASE TRACTION

DRIVE ENGAGEMENT BAR. THIS WILL IMMEDI- ATELY DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AND STOP MOWER MOVEMENT. THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN.

Grasping both upper handle/safety bar (A, Figure 5) and lower portion of traction drive engagement bar

(B) with both hands, slowly begin squeezing engage- ment bar up toward handle. The unit should begin moving forward.

DANGER

Do not pass by or stand on the discharge side of brush mower with its engine running and blade engaged.

To Propel Unit In Reverse:

Grasping both upper handle/safety bar (A, Figure 6) and upper portion of traction drive engagement bar (B), slowly squeeze bar back toward handle. The unit should begin moving backwards.

The further the engagement bar is moved toward the handle, the more the unit will accelerate. Likewise, slowly releasing pressure on the bar will slowly decelerate the unit. Releasing engagement bar altogether will disen- gage transmission completely.
