CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly descr ibes the function of individual controls. Star ting, stopping, dr iving, and
mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To lear n what combination
and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Ground Speed Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider.
The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the
right lever controls the r ight rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD
speed of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a
lever increases the REVERSE speed.
Note: The fur ther a lever is moved away from the
neutral position the faster the dr ive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section for
steering instr uctions.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever towards the left, position the seat as desired,
and release the lever to lock the seat in position.
