SETTING THE SPEED CONTROL
The speed control lever can be set in either LOW or HIGH
range. Moving the speed control lever between LOW and
HIGH range sets the maximum forward/reverse speed the
machine can obtain during operation. See Figure 4-9.
Speed Control Selection Recommendations
LOW Range (Forward Travel Speed = 0 to 12 mph ) -
recommended for best overall cutting performance in all
conditions.
HIGH Range (Foward Travel Speed = 0 to 16 mph) -
recommended for transport. Although the machine is
capable of engaging the mowing deck in HIGH Range,
overall quality of cut will suffer. If the material being cut
is sparse or dormant, High Range can be selected to
"knock down" tall weeds, seed heads, etc. However for
best overall cut performance, it is recommended to select
LOW Range for mowing.
