OPERATING NOTES
- Practice at slow engine and travel speeds with the PTO off until fully familiar with the controls.
- For normal cutting the throttle should be set at the full open position. By using the traction levers to speed
up or slow down the machine during use, maximum control and cutting efficiency can be maintained.
- Using the machine at less than full throttle in heavy conditions will cause the engine to labor and result in
excessive wear.
DRIVING
1.
With the PTO disengaged, move the parking brake to OFF.
2.
Move both traction levers out of neutral lock.
3.
Push both traction levers forward evenly to drive forward in a straight line. Pull both traction levers
back evenly to drive backward in a straight line.
4. Steering - Move one lever forward and one back.
Turns during forward movement:
-
Right turn - move the right traction lever back toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.
Left turn - move the left traction lever back toward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.
-
Turns during reverse movement:
Reverse right turn - move the right traction lever forward toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.
-
-
Reverse left turn - move the left traction lever forward toward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.
Use caution when making turns. Slow down before making sharp turns to help maintain control and to
prevent torn turf from skidding or spinning tires. To help prevent turf damage, keep both drive tires moving
whenever a turn is made.
TIP: The best way to make a sharp "zero" turn is to come to a stop, get the machine moving in reverse with
both drive wheels and then power the machine around with the outside wheel. This technique keeps the drive
tires turning and results in less turf damage.
