increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel, and
pulling back (C) on a lever increases the REVERSE speed.
Moving a levers outwards (D) from the NEUTRAL position

and back. Move the lever towards the left, position the seat as

and fill procedures.

Icon
This unit is equipped with two transmission release levers.
The transmission release levers deactivate the transaxle
so that the unit can be pushed by hand. Both transmission
release levers must be in the same position whether you are
driving the unit or pushing it by hand. See Pushing the Unit by
Hand for operational information.
Fuel Tank Cap: To remove the cap, turn counter-clockwise.
Fuel Level Gauge: Displays the fuel level in the tank.
Removable Floor Plate: The floor plate can be removed
for easy access to the mower deck. To remove the plate,
remove the retainer hardware and tilt the floor pan up and
then remove from the machine. Reverse the process for re-
installation.
