CAUTION
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
If the tires lose traction on a slope, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Practice steering maneuvers at half throttle.
STEERING HANDLE OPERATION
Moving steering levers rapidly from forward to reverse or reverse to forward could cause loss of control.
Do not operate power unit with attachment removed. Attachment is required for power unit stability.
NOTE: Speed and direction are controlled with steering handles. Pushing handles forward will move power unit
forward. Pulling handles to the rear will move the power unit in reverse. The further forward or rearward the steering handles are moved, the faster the machine will move.
Steering Handle Positions
NOTICE
■If you become confused during operation, return both handles to the center neutral position and the power unit will stop.
Forward | Both handles forward |
Reverse | Both handles rearward |
Gentle Right | Left handle further forward than right |
Gentle Left | Right handle further forward than left |
360° Left | Left full rearward; right full forward |
360° Right | Right full rearward; left full forward |
NOTE: Moving one handle forward with the other han- dle in neutral will also result in a 360° circle. However this will cause one drive wheel to dig into the turf and should be avoided.
