Driving the Riding mower Forward
WARNING
Keep all movement of the drive control levers slow and smooth.
Abrupt movement of the control levers can affect the stability of the
riding mower and could cause the riding mower to flip over, which
may result in serious injury or death to the operator.
1.
Slowly and evenly move both drive control levers forward. The
riding mower will start to move forward. See Figure 14.
Driving Forward
2.
As the control levers are pushed farther forward the speed of the
riding mower will increase.
3.
To slow the riding mower move the controls lever rearward to
attain the desired speed, or move the levers to the neutral position
to stop the riding mower.
WARNING
Always maintain your grasp on the drive control levers. Do not release
the levers to slow the riding mower or to return to neutral.

Turning the Riding mower While Driving Forward
When reversing the direction of travel, we recommend performing
gradual 'U' turns where possible. Sharper turns increase the possibil-
ity of turf defacement, and could affect control of the riding mower.
ALWAYS slow the riding mower before making sharp turns.
To turn the riding mower while driving forward, move the control levers
as necessary so that one lever is rearward of the other. The riding
mower will turn in the direction of the rearward control lever.
1.
To turn to the left, move the left drive control lever rearward of the
right lever. See Figure 15.
2.
To turn to the right, move the right drive control lever rearward of
the left lever. See Figure 16.
Forward Right Turn
3.
The greater the fore-to-aft distance between the two levers, the
sharper the riding mower will turn.
