CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ If the neutral lock latches are not completely engaged the drive
levers could unexpectedly slip into the forward drive position.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ If the drive levers slip into the drive position, the unit could
lurch forward and cause injury or property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Be sure the pins protruding through the slots of each neutral
lock latch are completely engaged in the rear slot of each latch.
To place the drive levers in the drive position, firmly hold the drive levers, place
thumbs on the upper portion of the neutral lock latches and move them forward to
release drive levers. Slowly and carefully release the drive levers.
For ECS Handles: To lock the drive levers in neutral, squeeze the drive levers
back to the neutral position (Do Not squeeze the drive levers all the way back as
this will cause the drive wheels to go into full reverse direction). Place thumbs on
the inner thumb lobe of the neutral lock latches and push downward, moving them
under the drive levers. Release drive levers (See Figure 7).

4.3.5 Drive Wheel Engagement/Turning: With drive levers locked in neutral, shift speed
control lever to desired forward speed. Slowly squeeze and hold both drive levers
in the neutral position and move both neutral lock latches from the neutral lock
position. Do Not squeeze both drive levers all the way back, this will cause the
drive wheels to be engaged in the reverse direction.
For straight ahead motion, smoothly release both drive levers to engage drive
wheels.
Squeeze the right hand drive lever to turn right and the left hand drive lever to
turn left.
To make a “zero turn”, squeeze either the left hand or the right hand drive lever
back into the reverse position while the opposite drive lever is in a forward position
at an equal but opposite speed.
To back up, squeeze both drive levers into the reverse position.
For smooth operation of this machine, avoid quick, jerky movements of the drive
levers. Move the drive levers smoothly and deliberately.
