Parking Brake

IMPORTANT INfORMATION
The machine must stand absolutely still
when applying the parking brake. Always
set the parking brake before dismounting.
Release the parking brake before moving
the mower.
The parking brake is found on the left of the machine.
Pull the lever backward to activate the brake and
forward to release it.

Steering Control Levers

The machine's speed and direction are continuously
variable using the two steering controls. The steering
controls can be moved forward or backward about
a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral
position, which is locked if the steering controls are
moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the
machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line
forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and
the machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward from its
neutral position. The rotation direction when zero
turning is determined by which steering control is
moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left
steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns
to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions when
standing still or do not fit in the slots for moving the
controls outward, they can be adjusted.
WARNING!
The machine can turn very
rapidly if one steering control
is moved much further forward
than the other.
