OPERATION
Running
1. Release the parking brake by moving the
lever downward.
Your mower is equipped with an operator
presence system. When the engine is
running, any attempt by the operator to leave
the seat without rst setting the parking
brake will shut off the engine.
2. Move the steering controls to the neutral
position (N).
3. Select the cutting height by adjusting the
cutting height pin. Release latch and lower
deck to set cutting height.
4. Make sure the work area is free from objects
that could be thrown by the rotating blades.
5. Engage the mower deck by pulling out the
blade switch.
6. Move throttle control to full throttle.
7. The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. When both controls are in the
neutral position, the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount
forward or backward, the machine moves
in a straight line forward or backward
respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while
moving forward, move the right control
towards the neutral position. The rotation of
the right wheel is reduced and the machine
turns to the right.
Turning on the spot (zero turn) can be
achieved by moving one control backward
(behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward
from its neutral position.
WARNING!
Ensure that no one is near
mower when engaging blade
switch.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The mower deck’s gauge wheels should be
evenly adjusted.
