CONTROLS
3. Motion Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. The steering controls can be moved forward or backward about a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the steering controls are moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), 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.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position. The rotation direction when zero turning is determined by which steering control is moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions when standing still or do not fit in the slots for moving the controls outward, they can be adjusted.
Tracking
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure is 15 psi. (1 bar) Tracking must be checked on a flat and level concrete or blacktop surface. If the unit still does not track straight contact your Husqvarna workshop for adjustments.
Steering controls
WARNING!
The machine can turn very rapidly if one steering control is moved much further forward than the other.
