MOWING
Gear Shift Lever (HRM215SDA) 1 (slow)-For mowing thick
grass or maneuvering
in small areas.

self-propelled speed

back.
You can shift gears without releasing the drive clutch lever
(page 25) but the transmission may not shift smoothly if the
mower is pulling hard. For smoother operation, release the drive
clutch lever before shifting gears.

(HRM215SDA).

the fuel valve off.
