CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.

A. Ground Speed Selector Lever

This unit is equipped with a 6-speed gearbox. This lever control the ground speed of the mower.

From the neutral position, moving a lever towards the right engages the FORWARD TRAVEL gears. The high- er the number gear selected, the higher the speed of the mower. From the neutral position, pushing the lever down and to the left engages the REVERSE TRAVEL gear.

B. Steering Levers

These levers are used to steer the unit.

Gently squeezing the right steering lever will turn the unit right. Gently squeezing the left steering lever will turn the unit left.

Squeezing both levers together will slow the unit by de- clutching the drive belts and engage the brake.

C. Clutch Lock Levers

These lock levers will disengage the power to the ground drive belts.

To engage the clutch lock levers, squeeze both steering levers and push the lock levers forward.

To disengage the clutch lock levers, squeeze both steer- ing levers and pull the lock levers backward.

NOTE: When disengaging the clutch lock levers with the ground speed selector lever in gear, release both steer- ing levers gradually and evenly to prevent the unit from lunging forward or reverse.

D. Operator Presence Handles

This control deactivates the engine kill system when depressed. Release the handles to activate the engine kill system. The engine will shut off if the operator releases the handles with the PTO engaged or the ground speed selector lever in gear.
