Operation
Backward
1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position.
2. To go backward, slowly pull the motion control
levers rearward (Figure 9).
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both
motion control levers (Figure 9).
To turn, release the pressure on the motion
control lever toward the direction you want to
turn (Figure 9).
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
lever to between Fast and half throttle, and turn the
ignition key to off. Remember to remove the key
from the ignition switch.
Tracking Adjustment
If the machine turns right or left when handles are
pushed forward together, adjust the tracking plate on
the side opposite the direction of turn (see Figure 10).
Loosen the hardware that holds the tracking plate.
Move the plate back until the unit drives straight.
Tighten the hardware to lock the tracking plate in
place. Readjust handles if necessary.

CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the mower while

Always remove the ignition key and move the
motion control levers outward to the neutral

for a few minutes.
