Motion Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two motion control
levers. The motion control levers can be moved
forward or backward from a neutral position.
Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is
locked if the motion control levers are moved
outward into the neutral slots.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N),
the machine stands still.
The motion control levers on each side of the
mower control the direction of movement. The left
lever controls the flow of oil from the left hydro pump
to the left wheel motor. The right lever controls the
flow of oil from the right hydro pump to the right
wheel motor.
NOTE: To begin motion, the operator must be in
the seat and the parking brake disengaged before
the motion control levers can be moved from the
neutral slots or the engine will shut down.
By moving the levers an equal amount forward or
back the machine will move in a straight line in
that direction.
Movement of either lever forward will cause the
right or left wheel to rotate in a forward direction.
To stop movement pull both levers into the neutral
position.
To turn right while moving in a forward direction
pull the right lever back toward the neutral position,
this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and
cause the machine to turn in that direction.
To turn left while moving in a forward direction pull
the left lever back towards the neutral position, this
will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause
the machine to turn in that direction.
To zero turn pull one lever back beyond neutral
while holding the other slightly ahead of neutral.
NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will be
determined by which lever is pulled back beyond
neutral. Thus left lever back, left zero turn and
opposite for right zero turn. Use extra care when
using this maneuver the machine can spin
very rapidly if one lever is positioned too far
ahead of the other.
WARNING!
The machine can turn very rapidly
if one steering control is moved
much further forward than the
other.
