(toward center of machine). Slowly, move
both lap bars toward the front of the
machine until the machine begins to
move forward — release the lap bars
and the machine should stop. The more
that the lap bars are moved toward the
front of the machine, the faster the
machine will move in the forward direc-
tion. Release the lap bars and the
machine should stop traveling forward.
(This is a safety check, the normal pro-
cedure is for the operator to slowly bring
the lap bars to the neutral position).
4. Do not advance the lap bars rapidly as
this could cause turf defacement, loss of
traction, and/or instability.
5. To turn, advance one lap bar ahead of
the other and the machine will turn
toward the opposite from the side that
was advanced — I.E. to turn clockwise
(to the Right), move the LEFT lap bar for-
ward more than the right side, and to
turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT),
move the RIGHT lap bar forward more
than the left side. NOTE: If one lap bar is
in the neutral position and the other is
advanced, the turn side tire will not
rotate and a “pivot turn” will be executed
— turf defacement could occur (if on
grass) as well as potential damages to
the traction surface and the tire. If the lap
bar on the turn side is not brought all the
way to neutral, then the turn side tire will
continue to rotate and a “U-turn” will be
executed with a low potential for turf
defacement as well as traction surface
and tire damage.
i. To drive in the REVERSE direction:
1. Make sure no bystanders, animals, or
objects are behind the machine. Look
behind the machine, and use extreme
care.
2. Slowly, move both lap bars toward the
rear of the machine until the machine
begins to move rearward. Release the
lap bars and the machine should stop.
The more the lap bars are moved toward
the rear of the machine, the faster the
machine will move in the reverse direc-
tion. Release the lap bars and the
machine should stop traveling in reverse
(this is a safety check, the normal proce-
dure is for the operator to slowly bring
the lap bars to the neutral position).
3. Do not move the lap bars rapidly as this
could cause turf defacement and/or loss
of traction.
4. To turn, move one lap bar ahead of the
other and the machine will turn toward
the same side that was moved — I.E., to
turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT),
move the LEFT lap bar rearward more
than the right side, and to turn clockwise
(to the RIGHT), move the RIGHT lap bar
rearward more than the left side. NOTE:
If one lap bar is in the neutral position
and the other is moved, the turn side tire
will not rotate and a “pivot turn” will be
executed. Turf defacement could occur (if
on grass) as well as potential damages
to the traction surface and the tire. If the
lap bar on the turn side is not brought all
the way to neutral, then the turn side tire
will continue to rotate and a “U-turn” will
be executed with a low potential for turf
defacement as well as traction surface
and tire damage.
j. To perform a “zero turn”:
1. Please note, a zero turn maneuver can
not be executed while the machine is
moving in the forward or, reverse direc-
tions, the machine must come to a stop
first.
2. To turn clockwise, slowly move the LEFT
lap bar forward while simultaneously
moving the RIGHT lap bar rearward.
Release both lap bars and the machine
should stop turning.
3. To turn counter-clockwise, slowly move
the RIGHT lap bar forward while simulta-
neously moving the LEFT lap bar rear-
ward. Release both lap bars and the
machine should stop turning (this is a
safety check, the normal procedure is for
the operator to slowly bring the lap bars
to the neutral position).
3. Start the Engine:
a. Open the fuel shutoff valve.
b. Sit on the Seat. Set the parking brake
“On”.
c. Move the left and right steering levers to
the neutral, opened-out position.
d. Turn the electric blade clutch switch “Off”.
e. Push the choke/throttle control to the full
forward position.
f. Insert the key in the ignition and start
switch and turn the switch to “On”.
g. Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direc-
tion to the “Start” position until the engine
starts.
Note:
Do not hold the key in the “Start”
position for more than 10 seconds or you may
damage the starter. If the engine does not start
in this time, wait about 30 seconds and try
again.
