rear wheels are kept from turning when park brake lever
is pulled back or to the (ON) position. Push lever forward
to (OFF) position to release park brakes.
Mower engine will stop running if park brake lever is set
to (ON) before spreading both control levers (OUT) or if
one or both control levers are moved (IN) before moving
park brake lever to (OFF).
Control Levers

The control levers are used to steer, accelerate,
decelerate, stop, and change direction of travel.
Always move both control levers to neutral position and
then spread them fully (OUT) before setting park brake
lever to the (ON) position. Set park break to the (ON)
position. Always leave park brake and control levers in
this position until ready to start traveling. Move park
brake to (OFF) before pulling control levers (IN). Start
moving by moving control levers either forward or
