Operating Instructions

Beginning Recommendations are:

♦Learn operation of the mower in an open area away from buildings, fences, and ob­ structions. Learn operation on flat ground

BEFORE operating on slopes.

♦Start maneuvering the mower with SLOW engine speed and SLOW Forward Speed Control setting until familiar with all operat­ ing characteristics.

♦Remember it is not necessary to hold the steering levers forward (a unique Walker feature); always PULL on the levers for steering or for reverse motion of the mower.

♦Learn to operate the mower with your left hand on the steering levers and right hand on Forward Speed Control. The use of two hands on the steering levers tends to cause overcontrol.

♦Learn to operate the steering levers with smooth action. Jerky movements are hard on the transmission and lawn. For sharp turns, do not allow the inside wheel to stop and twist on the grass. Pull the steering le­ ver controlling the inside wheel into reverse for a smooth “rolling” turn (one wheel rolling­ forward while the other rolls backward).

♦Practice maneuvering the mower until you can make it go exactly where you are aiming.

♦Remember, for an emergency stop, or in case of loss of control, machine movement can always be stopped quickly by pulling the Forward Speed Control into the NEUTRAL­- PARK position.

1.Move the FSC out of NEUTRAL-PARKposition to the desired forward speed. DO NOT hold forward­ on steering levers. It is not necessary to hold the FSC lever in position since a friction lock maintains the selected lever position (and forward travel speed).

WARNING

If either of the transmission drive belts break during slope operation, the machine will freewheel down the slope. To maintain control, immediately (1) Release the steering levers and simultaneously (2) Move the FSC to the NEUTRAL-PARK position. When the machine is stopped or moving slowly, engage the parking brake.

NOTE: This is exactly the same procedure used to normally stop and park the machine.

CAUTION

An operator presence switch (seat switch) will cause the engine to stop if the FSC is out of the NEUTRAL-PARK position and the operator is not in the seat. The function of this switch should be checked by the op­ erator raising off the seat with the tractor moving forward; the engine should stop. If the safety system­ is not working, it should be repaired or replaced before operating the mower. DO NOT disconnect the safety switches; they are for the operator’s pro- tection.

NOTE: If the FSC lever will not stay in the se- lected position, the friction lock needs to be ad- justed. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS for Step 7 -

Forward Speed Control Friction Adjustment in

the Maintenance Instructions.

2.Steer by pulling the lever on the side of desired direction of turn, e.g., pull the LH lever to turn left. To minimize the possibility of overcontrol, use only one hand on both steering levers.
