SHIFT LEVER (HR215SXA & HR215SMA)
The shift lever selects the drive speed
for the mower. Move the shift lever to
select the pace at which you wish to
mow.
NOTE:
The mower will lurch if you shift
gears while the drive clutch is
engaged. Release the drive clutch
lever before moving the shift lever.
To avoid incomplete gear engage-
ment, be sure the shift lever is
centered in one of the three detent
positions.
MAXIMUM SPEED:
Position 1 (SLOW): 2.6 ft/sec
(0.8 m/set)
Position 2 (MEDIUM): 3.9 ft/sec
(1.2 m/set)
Position 3 (FAST): 4.6 ft/sec
(1.4 m/set)
SHIFT LEVER (HR215HXA)
The shift lever controls the mower's
maximum drive speed. Move the shift

wish to momentarily slow the mower

drive clutch lever, then resume your
normal speed by pushing the drive
clutch lever forward again (see page
14). It is not necessary to move the
shift lever for momentary speed
reduction.
