Control Functions

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require
the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to
use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Cutting Height Adjustment Pin
With the actuator fully extended move the cutting height
adjustment pin to the desired cutting height. Retract the
actuator until it makes contact with the cutting height
adjustment pin to set the cutting height.
Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The
left lever controls the left drive wheel and the right lever
controls the right drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed
of the associated wheel, and pulling back on and lever
increases the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See Zero-Turn Driving Practice section for steering
instructions.
