TRAVEL

Forward Travel: Hold the handlebar and operate the clutch
lever to power the mower in a forward direction.
Release the clutch lever to stop the mower from travelling in
a forward direction
Speed Control:
Travel speed can be altered by selecting a different position on
the ground drive speed control lever. With the engine running
and the clutch lever engaged push the lever forward to reduce
speed and pull backwards to increase.
When the clutch lever is disengaged the mower can be
operated as a push model. This feature is useful when
mowing in confined areas.

the handlebar to keep the engine running.
Reverse Travel: Release the clutch lever. Hold and pull
against the handlebar with both hands to reverse the mower
towards you.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : Always reverse the mower carefully towards
you. Always switch off the engine before walking backwards with the mower.

TURNING THE MOWER

To make a tight turn : Stop forward travel. Apply downward pressure on the handlebar to
raise the front wheels of the mower just above ground level and steer the mower using the han-
dlebar in the required direction.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : DO NOT raise the front of the mower ex-
cessively when making a turn. NEVER raise the rear of the mower when the engine
is running.
