Running - Husqvarna 966582201 Operator's Manual

Running

1. Release the parking brake by moving the lever
downward.
NOTE: The mower is equipped with an operator
presence system. When the engine is running,
any attempt by the operator to leave the seat
without first setting the parking brake will shut off
the engine.
2. Move the steering controls to the neutral position
(N).
3. Select the cutting height by placing the lever into
the desired notch.
WARNING!
Ensure that no one is near mower when
engaging blade control lever.
4. Engage the mower blade by sliding the lever
upwards and into the lock notch.
5. Move throttle control to full throttle.
6. 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.
