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.
A. Motion Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed and direction of
motion of the mower. The left and right levers are tied
together so you can operate either lever to control the
mower's ground speed and forward or reverse direction.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed
of the mower, and pulling back on a levers increases the
REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the mower will travel.
