IMPORTANT INFORMATION
At least one of the Operator Presence
Levers must be held in, otherwise the
engine will stop.
1.
Depress one Operator Presence Lever
and shift transmission to the desired
gear.
2.
Unlock the motion control levers by
pushing the thumb latches forward.
Slowly release both motion control levers
at the same time to begin forward
motion.
3.
The steering system of this mower uses
individual right and left motion control
levers on the handle bars. Squeezing the
motion control lever will reduce tension
on the wheel drive belt eliminating power
to that wheel. With the opposite wheel
still under power a turn is accomplished.
4.
If the motion control lever is squeezed
even tighter the brake will be applied to
that wheel and a tighter more abrupt turn
is accomplished. Turn left by squeezing
the left hand motion control lever or turn
right by squeezing the right hand motion
control lever. If you squeeze both levers
the mower will stop.
