CONTROLS
3. Motion control levers
The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two motion
control levers.
When both controls are in the neutral
position, the machine stands still. The
controls can be locked in neutral position by
the thumb latches.
By releasing both controls an equal amount,
the machine moves in a straight line forward.
In order, for example, to turn right while
moving forward, move the right control
towards the handle (neutral position). The
rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the
machine turns to the right.
With the opposite wheel still under power a
turn is accomplished. If the motion control
lever is squeezed even tighter the brake will
be applied to that wheel and a tighter more
abrupt turn is accomplished.
4. Operator Presence Lever
Located on the handle. As an additional
safety feature, these mowers are equipped
with an Operators Presence System. This is
an electrical interlock safety system which is
activated by depressing either one or both of
the Operator Presence Levers towards the
handle grips.
Releasing both Operators Presence Levers
while mowing or transporting will break the
electrical circuit and cause the engine and
mower to stop. The mower will not stop
immediately after releasing the operate
presence levers, some travel does occur.
One or both levers must be pressed against the
handle for the engine to remain running, when the
blades are engaged or thumb latches are not locked
in the motion control levers.
