CONTROLS
Husqvarna-17
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed and
thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the
blade engagement control is engaged (pulled up).
In order to increase or decrease the engine speed, the
control is moved forward or backward respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a
risk of the spark plugs fouling.
For best mower performance, USE FULL THROTTLE
WHEN MOWING.
Neutral Lock
Located on top the motion controls, the neutral locks
keep the unit from moving while idling. The locks
should be activated when starting the engine. To
disengage the locks, squeeze slightly upward on the
driver levers and using thumbs, slide the neutral locks
back.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Be sure neutral locks are either fully forward
(locked) or fully back (unlocked). If the neutral
lock is between full forward and full back, the
machine will not track properly.
Tracking Adjustment
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the
air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air
pressure is 15 psi (1 bar). Tracking should be checked
on a at, level surface.
Turning the tracking knob clockwise will adjust the
mower to the left. Turning the knob counter-clockwise
adjusts the mower to the right.
