CONTROLS
1. Parking Brake
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The machine must stand absolutely still when applying the parking brake. Always set the parking brake before dismounting. Release the parking brake before moving the mower.
The parking brake is found on the left of the machine. Pull the lever backward to activate the brake and forward to release it.
2. Steering Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. The steering controls can be moved forward or backward about a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral posi- tion, which is locked if the steering controls are moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), 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.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position. The rotation direction when zero turning is determined by which steering control is moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver. If the steering controls are in uneven positions when standing still or do not fit in the slots for moving the controls outward, they can be adjusted.
WARNING!
