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.

Ground Speed Levers

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

Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.

See the Operation section for proper steering instructions.

Seat Adjustment Lever

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever towards the left, position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat in position.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three positions:

OFF	Stops the engine and shuts off the
	electrical system.
RUN	Allows the engine to run and powers
	the electrical system.
START	Cranks the engine for starting.

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
