Running
1.Release the parking brake by moving the lever downward.
Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system. When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine.
2.Move the steering controls to the neutral position (N).
3.Select the cutting height by the cutting height pedal.
4.Engage the mower deck by pulling out the blade switch.
5.Move throttle control to full throttle.
6.The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. When both controls are in the neutral position, the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward or backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or backward respectively. In order, for example, to turn right while moving forward, move the right control towards the neutral position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the machine turns to the right. Turning on the spot can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position.
Move steering controls to neutral and set cutting height.
