to regulate the machine ground/cutting speed. The current
speed setting is reflected on the InfoCenter LCD display.
Note: In order for the machine to move, you must have
both the traction lever engaged and the speed control off of
the zero speed position.

1. Full speed
2. Slow speed
If you rotate the speed control to the zero speed setting (as far
back as possible) all cutting/transport activities will cease and
the machine will stop. If you do this while mowing (with the
traction/reel drive lever engaged), the machine will stop with
the automatic motor brake off (refer to Automatic Motor
Brake (page 19)) and you will be able to pull the machine
rearward at that point. Move the speed control off of zero
speed to resume cutting/transport.
Traction and Reel Drive Engagement
Lever
The traction and reel drive engagement lever (Figure 23) is
located on the front right side of the control panel. For
transport operation, the lever has two positions: Neutral and
Forward. Pushing the lever forward engages the traction
drive.
Note: To move the lever you must first engage the operator
presence control.

For reel operation, the lever has two positions: Engage and
Disengage. Move the top of the lever to the left then forward
to engage the reel and begin mowing. Push the lever to the
right to disengage the reel and continue forward motion or
pull back on it to disengage both the reel and the traction
drive.
Note: If you release the operator presence control, the lever
will return to Neutral and the machine will stop.
Automatic Motor Brake
The machine is equipped with an automatic motor brake that
prevents it from rolling when the machine is stopped. The
motor brake is on whenever the traction drive is in neutral
or you move the speed control to the zero speed position,
except in the following circumstances:
•
When the machine is turned off—use the parking brake
latch to secure the machine when turned off.
•
When the machine is started with the key switch, the
motor brake is initially disengaged. After driving the
machine, the motor brake will function normally.
•
If you move the speed control to zero speed while the
reels are engaged (i.e., while mowing), the brake will not
engage. This feature allows you to move to the zero
position while mowing and pull the machine rearwards
to make course corrections.
