OPERATION
5.On power units push the hydraulic lift switch froward to lower the deck to the selected pin position.
WARNING!
Make sure that no one is near the machine when engaging the blade switch.
6.Engage the mower deck by pulling out the blade switch.
7.Move the throttle control to full throttle.
8.The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. When both controls are in the neutral position, 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.
Turning on the spot can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position.
NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will be determinded by which lever is pulled back beyond neutral. Thus left lever back, left zero turn and opposite for right zero turn. Use extra care when using this maneuver the machine can spin very rapidly if one lever is positioned too far ahead of the other.
NOTE: To begin motion, the operator must be in the seat and the parking brake disengaged before the motion control levers can be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will kill.
