Steering Arm Locking Pedal
Press the pedal (Figure 17) and raise or lower the steering
arm for operator comfort, then, release the pedal to lock the
arm in place.
Note: Move the steering arm fully forward before lifting
the seat.

Throttle Control

The throttle control (Figure 19) gives the operator the ability
to control the speed of the engine. Moving the throttle
control toward the Fast position increases the engine rpm;
moving the throttle control toward Slow will decrease the
engine rpm. Ground speeds are as follows:
•
3.2 to 8 km/h (2 to 5 mph) forward mowing speed
•
16 km/h (10 mph) maximum transport speed
•
4.0 km/h (2.5 mph) reverse speed
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.

Choke
To start a cold engine, close the carburetor choke by pulling
the choke control (Figure 19) out to the Closed position.
After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine
running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by
pushing it in to the Open position. A warm engine requires
little or no choking.
Raise/Lower Mow Control
Moving the control (Figure 19) forward during operation
lowers the cutting units and starts the reels. Pull back on the
control to stop the reels and raise the cutting units. During
operation the reels can be stopped by pulling back on the
control momentarily and releasing it. This feature is known as
Tap-off and is adjustable in the InfoCenter. Restart the reels
by moving the control forward.
Functional Control Lever
The functional control lever (Figure 19) provides two traction
selections plus a Neutral position. It is permissible to shift
from mow to transport or transport to mow (not to neutral)
while the machine is in motion. No damage will result.
