FORWARD TRAVEL SPEED BACKSTOP LEVER

The backstop lever can be used to limit the move-
ment of the forward pedal for accurate forward trav-
el speed, and the clip rate required.
Operate the lever in a forward direction to increase
the travel speed setting and in a rearward direction
to decrease.
Note: This is not a cruise control device. Releasing
the forward travel pedal will allow it to return to
neutral.

OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM

WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Never operate the mower
without first checking that the operator platform latching mechanism
is fully engaged and in good working order. Check behind the seat and
ensure that the top of the platform is flush with the top of the fuel tank.
Also check beneath the tool tray and ensure that the release lever is
padlocked in the correct position.
IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - Engage the parking brake and
lower the cutterdecks to the ground. Remove ignition key and close
ignition cover before raising or lowering the platform.
Releasing the platform: Release and remove the tool tray from the left hand side of the platform.
Release the padlock securing the locking latch handle with the key provided. Move the locking latch
handle towards the front of the mower (position A) until the latch hooks clear the locking bar and raise
the platform. The gas spring will provide assistance.
Securing the platform: Lower the platform carefully. The gas spring will provide assistance. Move the
locking latch handle towards the front of the mower (position A) as the platform nears the fully lowered
position. This will ensure that the latch hooks clear the locking bar. Fully lower the platform and move
the locking handle towards the rear of the mower (position B) until the latch hooks fully engage the
locking bar. Replace the padlock in order to secure the locking latch handle in place.
