OPERATION
Reversing
1. Depress one operator presence lever
and pull the ground speed lever fully
back.
2. Unlock the motion control levers by
pushing the neutral bail down out of the
neutral slots. Slowly push both motion
control levers towards the handle at the
same time to begin a straight line
backward motion.
3. The steering system of this mower uses
individual right and left motion control
levers on the handle bars. Squeezing
one motion control lever more than the
other will reduce the flow of oil from the
hydro pump to its wheel motor. The
speed of the wheel is reduced. With the
both wheels still under power, a turn is
accomplished.
4. To stop backward travel, set both levers
back into their stop positions and lock the
position with neutral bail.

“Driving on Slopes” on page 8.
• The slowest speed possible should be
used before starting up or down hills.
• Avoid stopping or changing speed on
hills.
