OPERATION

 

5.

Move throttle control to full throttle.

 

 

6.

Engage the mower deck by pulling out the blade

 

 

 

switch.

 

 

 

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 (zero turn) can be achieved

neutral position) and carefully moving the other

 

 

 

steering control forward from its neutral position.
