Bradley Belt-Drive With Electric Clutch Mower Parts
Turning The Mower
To turn the mower in the direction you want to go, gently squeeze the side's traction control lever (i.e. to
go right,squeeze the right traction control lever; to go left, squeeze the left traction control lever). The
more a particular traction control lever is squeezed, the sharper a turn the mower will make.
Stopping The Mower
To stop the mower, gently and evenly squeeze up on both of the traction control levers until the
mower comes to a complete stop. Then with your thumbs, push down on the traction lever locks until
the levers are securely locked in the neutral position. While still holding down with one hand the
operator presence controls, move the gear shift lever to the "N" position with the other hand. If the
operator is leaving the operator's position behind the mower for any reason, disengage the blades,
shut the engine off, and remove the key.
If you are leaving the operators position, try to park the mower on level ground. If it is not possible to
do such, be sure to block the wheels to prevent the mower from rolling away.
Using The Reverse Assist
1.
Slowly and evenly squeeze up on both control levers until the mower comes to a complete stop
and then with your thumbs, push down on the traction lever locks until the levers are securely
locked in the neutral position.
2.
While still holding down the operator presence control with one hand, use the other and pull the
blade control lever to the "OFF" position.

Shift the gear shift lever to the reverse "R" position.
4.
Release the traction control lever locks by squeezing by both traction control levers only as
much as needed while at the same time, applying forward pressure on the traction control lever
locks with your thumbs.

Mowing
DANGER: THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE AREA WHERE THE EQUIPMENT IS TO BE USED.
LOOK FOR ITEMS SUCH AS STONES, STICKS, WIRE, AND OTHER FOREIGN OBJECTS. WHEN
STRUCK BY THE MOWER, THESE AND OTHER OBJECTS MAY BECOME PROJECTILES THAT
COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND OR DEATH. CLEAR AREA OF ALL DEBRIS AND KEEP
PEOPLE AND PETS AWAY.
DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE THE MOWER WITH DEFECTIVE GUARDS, SHIELDS, OR
WITHOUT THE SAFETY DEVICES SECURELY IN PLACE.
For the highest quality of cut and performance, always mow with the engine at full throttle.
Quality of cut may be determined by the ground speed and speed of the mower. Generally, the
slower the mower travels across the terrain, the better the cut.
