•
To disengage the self-propel drive and the blades,
release the control bar.
Note:
You can vary the ground speed by increasing
or decreasing the distance between the control bar
and the handle. Lower the control bar to reduce
the speed when you make a turn or if the machine
is moving too fast. If you lower the control bar too
far, the machine stops self-propelling. Squeeze the
control bar closer to the handle to increase the ground
speed. When you hold the control bar tight against
the handle, the machine self-propels at the maximum
ground speed.
