Operation
Use the Speed Control Pedals
The drive system uses a Hydrostatic Automatic Drive
Transmission. The hydrostatic transmission is very
easy to operate. This type of drive system does not re-
quire a shift lever or a clutch pedal.
The speed and direction of travel is controlled by a for-
ward speed control pedal and reverse speed control
pedal operated with your right foot.
NOTE: Do not use the left brake pedal in normal opera-
tion. Only use the left brake pedal to quickly stop in an
emergency.
Drive Forward
1. The automatic drive disconnect must be in the
DRIVE position (see A A , Figure 12).
2. Slowly release your left foot from the brake pedal
(see F F igure 13).
3. Move the throttle control to the FAST position (see
Figure 8).
4. Slowly push the forward speed control pedal (1)
to enable forward ground speed (see F F igure 14).
5. To increase forward speed, slowly push down on
the forward speed control pedal. To reduce forward
speed, slowly release the forward speed control
pedal until the unit slows to the desired speed.
Drive In Reverse
1. Before driving in reverse, look to the rear. Look
behind and down for small children to ensure
safety.
2. Remove your foot from the forward speed control
pedal (1) (see F F igure 14).
3. Slowly push the reverse speed control pedal (2) to
enable reverse ground speed.
4. To increase reverse speed, slowly push down on
the reverse speed control pedal. To reduce reverse
speed, release the reverse control pedal until the
unit slows to the desired speed.
