CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of 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.
Please take a moment and
familiarize yourself with
the name, location, and
function of these controls
so that you will better
understand the safety and
operating instructions
provided in this manual.
A & B. Forward Speed Control Lever /
Reverse Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the mower.
The center lever (A) control the forward ground speed of
both drive wheels.
The left lever controls the steering and reverse ground
speed of the left drive wheel and the right lever controls
the steering and reverse ground speed of the right drive
wheel.
NOTE: The further a lever is moved away from the neu-
tral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Dual Drive Walk-Behind Mower
