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 please read the entire section.

Ground Speed Levers

_ Throttle Control

These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right lever controls the right rear drive wheel.

Pushing the levers out, away from the operator's lap locks them in PARK positions (inset, Figure 1). Pulling the levers in across the operator's lap puts them in DRIVE positions.

From DRIVE position, moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel. Pulling back on a lever increases the REVERSE speed. The fur- ther a lever is pushed, the faster the drive wheel will turn.

See the DRiViNG PRACTICE for steering instructions.

The throttle controls engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle when mowing. Move the lever forward to the detent for FULL throttle (FAST). Move the throttle back to decrease engine speed to IDLE (SLOW).

Choke

Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require chok- ing. Move the lever forward past the FULL throttle detent to close the choke. Move the lever back to the detent to open the choke.
