Features and Controls

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.

 

Ground Speed / Steering Control Levers

 

Choke

 

 

These levers control the ground speed and steering control 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.

The further a lever is moved away from the neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.

See the OPERATION section for steering instructions.

Throttle Control

The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.

Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require choking. Pull the knob up to close the choke. Push the knob down to open the choke.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch starts and stops the engine; it has three positions:

OFF

Stops the engine and shuts off the

 

electrical system.

RUN

Allows the engine to run and powers

 

the electrical system.

START

Cranks the engine for starting.

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
