CONTROLS

Motion Control Levers

The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two motion control levers. The motion control levers can be moved forward or backward from a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the motion control levers are moved outward into the neutral slots.

When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still.

The motion control levers on each side of the mower control the direction of movement. The left lever controls the flow of oil from the left hydro pump to the left wheel motor. The right lever controls the flow of oil from the right hydro pump to the right wheel motor.

NOTE: To begin motion, the operator must be in the seat and the parking brake disengaged before the motion control levers can be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will shut down.

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.
