Operation
Stopping the Engine
1. Bring the unit to a full stop.
2. Disengage the PTO.
3. Move the motion control levers out to the neutral
lock position.
4. Engage the parking brake.
5. Place the throttle midway between the “SLOW”
and “FAST” positions.
6. Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 15
seconds, then turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position to stop the engine.
7. Remove the key to prevent children or other
unauthorized persons from starting engine.

below the seat, when the machine will not be in

the unit is parked inside a building.
Driving the Machine
CAUTION
Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning
one lever too much ahead of the other.
Operator may lose control of the machine,
which may cause damage to the machine
or injury.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making
sharp turns.
Important: To begin movement (forward or
backward) the operator must be in the seat, the
brake lever must be disengaged (pushed down)
before the motion control levers can be moved in
or the engine will stop.
When the motion control levers are positioned fully
outward (apart) in the T-slot, the drive system is in
the neutral lock position (Figure 14).
Note: The “N” LCD indicator appears when both
levers are in the neutral lock position.
When the motion control levers are moved directly
inward (together) the drive system is in the neutral
operate position.

Driving Forward
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Move the motion control levers inward to the
center to the neutral position.
3. To move forward in a straight line, move both
levers forward with equal pressure.
To turn left or right, pull the motion control lever
back toward neutral in the desired turn direction.
The machine will move faster the farther the
motion control levers are moved from the neutral
position.
4. To stop, position both motion control levers in
the neutral operate position.
