1. Run/Drive position
2. Run/Shift position
Note: Do not shift speeds while squeezing the blade
control bar against the handle in the Run/Drive
position; this can damage the transmission. Move the
blade control bar to the Run/Shift position when you
change the ground speed.
Note: You can vary the ground speed by increasing
or decreasing the distance between the blade control
bar and the handle. Lower the blade control bar to
decrease the ground speed when you are making a turn
or if the mower is moving too fast for you. If you
lower the blade control bar too far, the mower stops
self-propelling. Squeeze the blade control bar closer to
the handle to increase the ground speed. When you
hold the blade control bar tight against the handle, the
mower self-propels at the maximum ground speed.
Move the ground speed control to the Neutral position
when you use the mower for trimming or whenever
you leave the mower.
