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 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 position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the OPERATION section for steering instructions.
Throttle Control
The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.

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
