Control Functions

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require
the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to
use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
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.
Features and Controls
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.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers
the electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
