Running
1.
Release the parking brake by moving the lever
downward.
NOTE: The mower is equipped with an
operator presence system. When the engine is
running, any attempt by the operator to leave
the seat without first setting the parking brake
will shut off the engine.
2.
Move the steering controls to the neutral
position (N).
3.
Select the cutting height with the cutting height
adjustment pedal.
4.
Make sure the work area is free from objects
that could be thrown by the rotating blades.
5.
Engage the mower deck by pulling out the
blade switch.
WARNING!
Ensure that no one is near mower
when engaging blade switch.
6.
Move throttle control to full throttle.
The machine's speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. When both controls are in the neutral
position, the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount
forward or backward, the machine moves in a
straight line forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the
neutral position. The rotation of the right wheel
is reduced and the machine turns to the right.
Turning on the spot (zero turn) can be
achieved by moving one control backward
(behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward from
its neutral position.
