motion control levers (Figure 9).
To turn, release the pressure on the motion
control lever toward the direction you want to
turn (

To stop, push the motion control levers to neutral.
Stopping the Machine
To stop the machine, move the motion control
levers to neutral and outward to the neutral position,
disengage the blade control switch, move the throttle
