Ground Speed Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider.
The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the
right controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD
speed of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a
lever increases the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the
neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section for
steering instructions.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever forward, position the seat as desired, and
release the lever to lock the seat in position.
Figure 1. CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of the individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and
mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination
and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
four positions:
Heats the glow plugs (diesel model only)
Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the ON
position with the engine stopped–this drains the
battery.
