BLADE CONTROL LEVER

DRIVE CLUTCH LEVER

HXA (hydrostatic transmission model): You can control self- propelled speed with the drive clutch lever. The mower will move gradually faster as you push the drive clutch lever forward. If you push the lever all the way forward to the handlebar, the mower will move at the speed determined by the shift lever setting (see page 21).

When moving and using the drive clutch lever to change self-propelled speed, continue to fully hold the blade control lever against the handlebar. This will help to extend the service life of the blade control mechanism. Use the shift lever (page 21) to change the maximum speed so you can hold the drive clutch lever comfortably against the handlebar.

All Models: For self-propelled mowing, press the button on top of the blade control lever, push the blade control lever forward, then push the drive clutch lever forward. The drive clutch lever can be used to hold the blade control lever against the handlebar.

Always release the drive clutch lever before starting the engine. If the drive clutch is engaged, the mower will move forward when you operate the starter.
