TRAVEL

Forward travel: Hold the handlebar and operate the ground drive
clutch lever to power the mower in a forward direction.
Travel speed is controlled by engine speed. Use the throttle con-
trol to increase or decrease forward travel speed.
Release the ground drive clutch lever to stop the mower from
travelling in a forward direction.
When the ground drive clutch lever is disengaged the mower can
be operated as a push model. This feature is useful when mow-
ing in confined areas.
Reverse travel: Release the ground drive clutch lever. Hold and
pull against the handlebar with both hands to reverse the mower
towards you.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Always reverse the mower carefully towards
you. Always disengage the cutterblade drive before walking backwards with the mower.
NOTE: The travel speed can be reduced, if desired, by using an
optional 'Kit - Speed Reduction ' Part No:- 219207. This is avail-
able for fitting by your Hayter Dealer.

TURNING THE MOWER

required direction.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: DO NOT raise the front of the mower ex-
cessively when making a turn. NEVER raise the rear of the mower when the cut-
terblade drive is engaged.
