OPERATION

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. Fig. 4 and 4A.

By moving the levers an equal amount forward or back the machine will move in a straight line in that direction. Fig. 4 and 4A

Movement of either lever forward will cause the right or left wheel to rotate in a forward direction. To stop movement pull both levers into the neutral position.

To turn right while moving in a forward direction pull the right lever back towards the neutral position, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction.

To turn left while moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position, this will slow the rotation of the left

wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction.

To zero turn pull one lever back beyond neutral while holding the other slightly ahead of neutral.

NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will be determined 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 to far ahead of the other.

CAUTION

DO NOT apply excessive force to control levers or use to assist in dismounting unit. Misuse will result in bent control levers.

TO ADJUST THE DECK CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 5)

The deck cutting height is obtained by pressing the foot pedal forward to lift the deck. To lower the deck, you apply pressure to the top side of the foot pedal and allow it to pivot while allowing the lift arm to rotate to the rear of the unit. To stop in a desired cutting position, rotate the foot pedal down into the notch in the height plate. The cutting height range is from 1 1/2" to 4 1/2" in 1/2" increments. The heights are measured from the ground up to the blade tip with the engine not running.

•The average lawn should be cut to 2 1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

•For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height.

On the other hand, the CZ4817KOA steps up the game with a slightly larger cutting deck of 54 inches. This model is powered by a similarly impressive Kawasaki engine, delivering exceptional performance for larger properties. The enhanced deck size of the CZ4817KOA allows for wider cutting paths, reducing mowing time and maximizing efficiency. Both models have a cutting height adjustment feature that allows operators to easily modify the cutting height based on personal preference or lawn conditions.

Ergonomics play a crucial role in these mowers, as both the CZ4815KAA and CZ4817KOA feature comfortable, adjustable seats and ergonomically designed levers for intuitive control. This design ensures that even long mowing sessions are manageable and fatigue-free.
