GROUND SPEED can be varied by selecting a higher or lower
gear using the gear shift lever on top of the handle (See Fig. 3).
Under most conditions cutting should be done in fi rst or second
gear. Third gear should be reserved for conditions where weeds
and brush are thinned out or not as tall. The quality of the cut
produced is directly related to the unit's ground speed during
cutting. If the quality of the cut is not satisfactory (i.e. material
left standing) you should shift into a lower gear during cutting.
For improved control in confi ned areas, this machine can be
pushed forward or backward by releasing the drive bail located
at the back of the handle.
