Drive Lever/Neutral Lock Latch Operation

To lock the drive levers in “neutral lock”, squeeze the drive levers to the “neutral” position (Do Not squeeze the drive levers all the way back as this will cause the drive wheels to go into full reverse direction). See Figure 5 position 1. Place thumbs on the inner lobe of the neutral lock latches and rotate them under the drive levers into the “neutral lock” position. See Figure 5 position 2. Release the drive levers.

CAUTION

If the neutral lock latches are not completely engaged the drive levers could unexpectedly slip into the forward drive position. If the drive levers slip into the drive position the unit could lurch forward and cause injury or property damage.

Be sure the drive levers are past the roller and securely seated at the bottom of the neutral lock latches.

To place the drive levers in the “forward” position, slightly squeeze the drive levers while placing thumbs on the outer thumb lobe of the neutral lock latches (or the index finger on the front lobe) and rotate them from under the drive levers. Slowly and carefully release the drive levers. See Figure 5 position 3.

To place the drive levers in the “reverse” position, squeeze the drive levers past the neutral position. See Figure 5 position 4.

Driving Forward

1.Release the parking brake.

2.With drive levers locked in “neutral”, shift speed control lever to desired forward speed.

3.Slowly squeeze and hold both drive levers in the neutral position and rotate both neutral lock latches from the neutral lock position to the forward position.

Note: Do Not squeeze both drive levers all the way back. This will cause the drive wheels to engage in the reverse direction.

4.To move forward in a straight line, smoothly release both drive levers to engage drive wheels.

To turn left or right, squeeze the right hand drive lever to turn right and the left hand drive lever to turn left.

To make a “zero turn”, squeeze either the left hand or the right hand drive lever back into the reverse position while the opposite drive lever is in a forward position at an equal but opposite speed.

Note: For smooth operation of this machine, avoid quick, jerky movements of the drive levers. Move the drive levers smoothly and deliberately.

To stop, squeeze drive levers back to the “neutral” position. Move the neutral lock latches into the “neutral lock” position and release drive levers. Move the speed control lever to the neutral position.
