CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
A. Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section for steer- ing instructions.
B. Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever forward, position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat in position.

| electrical system. |
