Operating On Hills - Husqvarna RZ4219 Operator's Manual

OPERATION
,
7.
Engage the mower deck by pulling out the blade
switch.
Move throttle control to full throttle.
The machine's speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. When both controls are in the neutral
position, the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line
forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced
and the machine turns to the right.
Turning on the spot (zero turn) can be achieved by
moving one control backward (behind the neutral
position) and carefully moving the other steering
control forward from its neutral position.
