3. Motion control levers
The machine's speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two motion
control levers.
When both controls are in the neutral
position, the machine stands still. The
controls can be locked in neutral position by
the Neutral bail
By moving both controls an equal amount the
machine moves in a straight line forward.
WARNING!
The machine can turn very
rapidly if one steering control
is moved much further than the
other.
In order, for example, to turn right while
moving forward, move the right control
towards the handle (neutral position). The
rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the
machine turns to the right.
To stop forward travel pull levers back.
4. Operator Presence Levers
Located on the handle. As an additional
safety feature, these mowers are equipped
with an Operators Presence System. This is
an electrical interlock safety system which is
activated by depressing either one or both of
the Operator Presence Levers at the handle
grips.
Releasing both Operators Presence Levers
while mowing or transporting will break the
electrical circuit and cause the engine and
mower to stop. The mower will not stop
immediately after releasing the O.P. levers,
some travel does occur.
One or both levers must be pressed against
the handle for the engine to remain running,
when the blades are engaged or neutral lock
bail is not locked in drive levers.
