OPERATION
disengaged before the motion control levers can be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will kill.
By moving the levers an equal amount forward or back the machine will move in a straight line in that direction.
Movement of either lever forward will cause the right or left wheel to rotate in a forward direction. To stop movement pull both levers into the neutral position.
To turn right while moving in a forward direction pull the right lever back toward the neutral position, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction.
To turn left while moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position, this will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction.
To zero turn pull one lever back beyond neutral while holding the other slightly ahead of neutral.
NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will be determined by which lever is pulled back beyond neutral. Thus left lever back, left zero turn and opposite for right zero turn. Use extra care when using this maneuver the machine can spin very rapidly if one lever is positioned too far ahead of the other.
Mowing Tips
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades.
•Locate and mark rocks and other fixed objects in order to avoid collisions.
•Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained.
•The mowing result will be best with a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not too long and
