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 & B. Forward Speed Control Lever /

These levers control the ground speed of the mower.
The center lever (A) control the forward ground speed of

The left lever controls the steering and reverse ground
