Important:
Make sure that the fuel-shutoff valve
is closed before transporting or storing the
machine, as fuel leakage may occur. Engage the
parking brake before transporting. Make sure that
you remove the key as the fuel pump may run and
cause the battery to lose charge.

Driving the Machine

The drive wheels turn independently, powered by
hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side
in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing
the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly
improves the machine maneuverability but may
require sometime for you to adapt to how it moves.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the F
performance. Always operate in the full throttle
position when mowing.
