Operating On Hills - Husqvarna EZ 17 Operator's Manual

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 can be achieved by
moving one control backward (behind the
neutral position) and carefully moving the
other steering control forward from its
neutral position.

Operating on hills

Read "Slope Operation " in the "Safety
Instructions".
WARNING!
To prevent the machine from
rolling over do not drive up
or down hills with slopes
greater than 10 degrees.
And do not drive across any
slopes.
• The slowest speed possible should be
used before starting up or down hills.
• Avoid stopping or changing speed on
hills.
• If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull
drive levers into the neutral position and
push to the outside of the unit and
engage the park brake.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Control levers return to neutral when
released. This may cause the mower to
suddenly stop.
• To restart movement, release the park
brake.
• Pull the control levers back to the center
of the mower and press forward to regain
forward motion.
• Make all turns slowly.
