CONTROLS

Lift and traction levers (operator's right side)

Lift lever (F) - Used to raise the cutterdeck to maximum height for transport, curb climbing or blade changing. To return to preset height of cut, lower lift lever until it contacts height of cut pin A.

Traction Levers (L) - Each of the two traction levers controls the drive wheel located on the same side. They control the forward and reverse movement of the machine, provide steering and also provide dynamic braking.

The operator must be in the seat and the parking brake must be OFF to engage the traction drive. To engage traction drive, move the traction levers toward the center of the machine until they are out of neutral lock slot S.

Forward movement - To move the machine straight ahead, push both traction levers forward equally from their neutral position. Forward speed increases as the levers are moved farther forward from the neutral position. Maximum forward speed is reached when the levers hit the front of the forward-reverse slot. When traveling forward, pulling the traction levers rearward slows the machine. The machine stops when the neutral position is reached.

Reverse movement - To move the machine straight back, pull both traction levers back equally from their neutral position. Reverse speed increases as the levers are moved back farther. Maximum reverse speed is reached when the levers hit the rear of the forward-reverse slot. When moving in reverse, push- ing the levers forward slows the machine, and the machine stops when the neutral position is reached.

NOTE: Reverse is spring loaded to return to neutral. This spring resistance may be felt when moving the traction levers into reverse. When the levers are released in reverse, spring tension will slowly return them to the neutral position.

Steering - To steer, move one lever forward and one back.

Turns during forward movement:

-Right turn - move the right traction lever back toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.

-Left turn - move the left traction lever back to- ward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.

Turns during reverse movement:

-Reverse right turn - move the right traction lever forward toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.

-Reverse left turn - move the left traction lever forward toward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.

Slow, sweeping turns are made with both traction levers on the same side of neutral and slightly apart. True zero radius turns about the center of the machine are made by having one lever in reverse while the other is in forward. By varying the relative positions of the two levers, the rate of turn is varied to suit the mowing situation.

Slow down before making sharp turns. The machine is capable of turning very rapidly when the levers are moved further apart from each other. Loss of control and/or turf damage may result.
