Seat Adjustment Lever

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever
towards the left, position the seat as desired, and release the
lever to lock the seat in position.
Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The left
lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right lever
controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of
the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases
the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operation section for proper steering instructions.

Transmission Oil Fill
This unit is equipped with two transmission oil reservoirs.
The transmission oil reservoirs are located beneath the
operator's seat and in front of the engine. Transmission
oil is added through the transmission oil reservoirs. It also
serves as extra holding capacity as the transmissions heat
up and the oil expands. See CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL
