the T-handle knob (D) out to release the maximum forward
speed bar, position the Maximum Forward Speed Bar in the
desired location, and then release the T-handle knob. Make

Ground Speed Control Levers: These levers control the
ground speed of the unit. The left lever (B, Figure 6) controls
the left rear drive wheel and the right lever controls (C) the right
drive wheel.
FORWARD

REVERSE
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of the
associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases the
REVERSE speed.
The ground speed control levers cannot be moved from the
NEUTRAL position until the parking brake lever is moved to the
DISENGAGED position.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral position
the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See Driving the Zero-Turn Riding Mower section for steering
instructions.
