Section 4

In case of an emergency, such as loss of control, stop the mower’s movement by quickly pulling the forward speed control lever to the neutral position.

Forward Travel

-NOTE-

Use one hand on both steering levers as shown in Figure 4-4 to minimize overcontrol.

To travel forward with the mower, move the speed control lever forward. Do not push the steering control levers forward as they are used only for steering the mower left or right. When the speed control is moved forward, the mower will travel forward at the speed the control lever is set at. To increase the speed, push the control lever forward and to decrease the speed, pull the control lever back. It is not necessary to hold the speed control in position, since a friction system holds the lever in position.

To stop the forward travel, pull the speed control lever back to the neutral position.

To steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull the left steering lever back. The further the lever is pulled back, the sharper the mower will turn left.

To steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull the right steering control lever back. The further the lever is pulled back, the sharper the mower will turn right.

-NOTE-

Smooth operation of the steering levers will produce a smooth mower operation. While learning the operation of the steering controls, keep the travel speed low.

-IMPORTANT-

Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower will hang up on the curb. Tilt the deck and travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree angle. (See section 4.15 for cutter deck tilting instructions)

Reverse Travel

Figure 4-4 Hands On Controls

CAUTION:

Before backing up, observe the rear for persons and obstructions. Clear the area before backing up. Possible injury or property damage could occur.

CAUTION:

Disengage power to the mower before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower.

To travel in reverse, pull both handles all the way back. Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.

-NOTE-

The mower will not travel straight in reverse. Slight adjustments must be made using the steering controls.
