control levers. When going in reverse push forward gently on
steering control levers.
For emergency stop, when traveling forward or rearward,
place the steering control levers in the park brake position
immediately.
When moving in the rearward direction push forward
gently on steering control levers and avoid sudden move-
ment. Any sudden movement could cause the front of the
mower to come off of the ground resulting in possible
loss of control, causing serious injury or death.
To make a three point turn to the right, move the left
steering control lever farther forward from neutral than the right
steering control lever and start the turn. Next, pull back on the
steering control levers until they are past neutral and the
machine starts to go rearward. Pull right steering control lever
farther rearward from neutral than the left steering control lever
until the rear of the machine has pivoted around. Then, push the
steering control levers forward until they are both past neutral
and the machine starts to go forward. Push the left steering
control lever farther forward from neutral than the right steering
control lever and finish the turn. (Figure 3-9)
Always be aware of what is behind the machine before
backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely nec-
essary. Always look down and behind before and while
backingup.
IMPORTANT: Rapid movement of steering control levers
is not recommended as damage to the hydraulic system compo-
nents may occur.
To increase speed, increase steering control lever's distance
from neutral. The farther forward steering control levers are
from neutral, the faster the mower will travel forward. The
farther back steering control levers are from neutral, the faster
the mower will go in reverse.
