4.7ADJUSTING GROUND SPEED AND DIRECTION

-NOTE-

If you are not familiar with the operation of the hydrostatic drive, practice turning and ma- neuvering with the foot controls before engag- ing the blades. Learn the operation in an open area away from buildings, fences, or obstruc- tions. Learn the operation on a flat ground before operating on slopes. Start maneuver- ing with SLOW engine speed until you are fa- miliar with all operating characteristics. Prac- tice maneuvering the mower until you can make it go exactly where you intend.

-NOTE-

If the mower is driven on public roads, it must comply with state and local ordinances as well as SAE J137 and/or ASME S279 requirements. Contact your local authorities for regulations and equipment requirements.

-NOTE-

The left operator foot pedal must be depressed before operation.

-NOTE-

Before shifting from forward to reverse, or re- verse to forward, come to complete stop then shift the foot pedal to the desired direction.

2.To travel backwards (reverse), depress the right foot pedal at the heel (See Figure 4-7). The further the pedal is depressed the faster the mower will travel backwards. Use slower traveling speed when traveling backwards and observe the area behind you before moving.
