CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing
require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence
of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Motion Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed and direction of
the rider. The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel
and the right controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed
of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever
increases the REVERSE speed.
The further a lever is moved away from the neutral posi-
tion the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the OPERATION section for steering instructions.
Engine Speed Control
The engine speed control controls engine speed. Move
the engine speed control forward to increase engine
speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always
operate at FULL engine speed.
Choke
Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once
the engine starts. A warm engine may not require chok-
ing. Move the lever forward to close the choke. Move the
lever back to open the choke.
