Direction / Speed Control

The direction / speed control is infinitely variable. The mowing speed
can be adjusted to match conditions. The normal direction of travel is
with the brush bar facing forward.
When the drive system is engaged, the beacon will flash.
Set the machine in motion by moving the directional control lever.
Pushing the control forward moves the machine in the forward
direction.
▪
The farther the control lever is pushed, the faster the machine
will travel. Releasing it will stop the machine.
▪
To reverse the machine, pull the control lever rearward toward
the operator.

Cruise Hold (Ground Speed Hold)

Once the desired ground speed is achieved, the Operate can hold
that speed using the built-in "Cruise Hold" feature. This alleviates
strain and fatigue for the operator trying to constantly maintain a set
speed.
▪ When the desired ground speed is reached, set the "Cruise
Hold" switch to the ON position to maintain a constant speed.
▪ NOTE – To disengage, the "Cruise Hold" switch must be turned
"OFF".
▪ Reset the "Cruise Hold" by switching it off then back on once
the desired cutting speed is reached.
▪ When the "Cruise Hold" is activated the Forward / Reverse
direction control lever is de-activated.
▪ The "Cruise Hold" switch must be in the "OFF" position prior to
starting the engine.
