before the motion control levers can be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will kill. By moving the levers an equal amount forward or back the machine will move in a straight line in that direction. Movement of either lever forward will cause the right or left wheel to rotate in a forward direction. - Page 28 dense, the driving speed can be increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing result. • The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. The mowing becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher driving speed can be used without poorer mowing results.
