OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER To execute a zero-radius turn, move one steering control lever forward and the other steering control lever back of neutral. This will allow the drive wheels to counter-rotate. (See Figure 10) To stop or decrease speed, move steering control levers to neutral. When going forward, pull back gently on steering control levers.
If you lose steering control while operating the machine, place the steering control levers in the park brake position immediately and turn key to the “OFF” position. Inspect the machine and consult your Greenworks Commercial dealer to resolve the problem before continuing to operate.

OPERATING YOUR LAWNMOWER W A R N I N G The unit’s steering control levers are very responsive: For smooth operation, move levers slowly, avoiding sudden movements. Skill and ease of operation come with practice and experience. The machine can spin very rapidly. Use caution when making turns and slow down before making sharp turns. Inexperienced operators may have a tendency to oversteer and lose control.
• The Greenworks Commercial mower is capable of operating horizontally (traverse) on moderate slopes. When operating on slopes up to 15 degrees, be aware of any conditions that may cause the mower drive tires to lose traction, resulting in a possible loss of control of the machine. An operator should not operate on a slope until he is thoroughly familiar with the equipment.
