IMPORTANT INFORMATION
At least one of the Operator Presence Levers must be held in, otherwise the engine will stop.
1.Depress one Operator Presence Lever and shift transmission to the desired gear.
2.Unlock the motion control levers by pushing the thumb latches forward. Slowly release both motion control levers at the same time to begin forward motion.
3.The steering system of this mower uses individual right and left motion control levers on the handle bars. Squeezing the motion control lever will reduce tension on the wheel drive belt eliminating power to that wheel. With the opposite wheel still under power a turn is accomplished.
4.If the motion control lever is squeezed even tighter the brake will be applied to that wheel and a tighter more abrupt turn is accomplished. Turn left by squeezing the left hand motion control lever or turn right by squeezing the right hand motion control lever. If you squeeze both levers the mower will stop.
