Steering Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. The steering controls can be moved
forward or back about a neutral position. There
is a neutral / parking brake position which sets
the parking brake when the steering controls are
moved out.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N),
the machine stands still. By equally moving both
controls forward or backward, the machine moves
in a straight line forward or backward.

Brake
Forward
Neutral
Reverse
For example, to turn right while moving forward,
move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced
and the machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and
carefully moving the other steering control forward
from its neutral position. The rotation direction
when zero turning is determined by which
steering control is moved backward behind the
neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled
backward, the machine turns to the left. Use more
care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions
when standing still or do not t in the slots for
moving the controls out, they can be adjusted.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine
must stand still when engaging the park
brake. Always engage the park brake before
dismounting. Release the park brake before
moving the mower.
WARNING! The machine can turn very
fast if one steering control is moved much
further forward than the other.
Throttle Control
The throttle controls the engine speed and the
rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade
switch is pulled out.
The control is moved forward or back to increase
or decrease the engine speed.
To prevent the risk of fouling the spark plugs, do
not idle the engine for long periods. USE FULL
THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower
performance and battery charging.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the
engine. On models with headlights, turn the key
clockwise to ACCESSORY for headlight use.
