POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ If the neutral lock latches are not completely engaged
the drive levers could unexpectedly slip into the
forward drive position.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ If the drive levers slip into the drive position the unit
could lurch forward and cause injury or property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Be sure the pins protruding through the slots of each
neutral lock latch are completely engaged in the rear
slot of each latch.
To place the drive levers in the drive position, firmly hold the drive levers, place
thumbs on the upper portion of the neutral lock latches and move them forward
to release the drive levers. Slowly and smoothly release the drive levers.
Drive Wheel Engagement/Turning: With drive levers locked in neutral, shift
speed control lever to desired forward speed. Slowly squeeze and hold both
drive levers in the neutral position and move both neutral lock latches
from the neutral lock position. Do Not squeeze both drive levers all the way
back, this will cause the drive wheels to be engaged in the reverse direction.
For straight ahead motion, smoothly release both drive levers to engage drive
wheels. Squeeze the right hand drive lever to turn right and the left hand drive
lever to turn left. To make a "zero turn", squeeze either the left hand or the
right hand drive lever back into the reverse position while the opposite drive
lever is in a forward position at an equal but opposite speed. To back up,
squeeze both drive levers into the reverse position (See Figure 4).
For smooth operation of this machine, avoid quick, jerky movements of the
drive levers. Move the drive levers smoothly and deliberately.
To Stop: Squeeze drive levers back to the neutral position. Move neutral lock
latches into the neutral lock position and release drive levers. Move the speed
control lever to the neutral position.
Engaging Electric Blade Clutch: The electric blade clutch switch engages the
cutting blades. Be sure that all persons are clear of mower deck and discharge
area before engaging the blade clutch.
Set throttle to "midway" position. The switch must be pulled out to the "Rotate'
position to engage the blades. Accelerate to full throttle to begin mowing.
Stopping Electric Blade Clutch: The switch is pushed in to the "Stop" position
to stop the blades.
