Section 4
Reverse Travel
Before backing up, observe the rear for persons
and obstructions. Clear the area before backing
up. Possible injury or property damage could
occur.
Disengage power to the mower before backing up.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary and then only after observation of the
entire area behind the mower.
To travel in reverse, pull both handles all the way back.
Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.
-NOTE-
The mower will not travel straight in reverse.
Slight adjustments must be made using the
steering controls.
To steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left
steering control lever to move forward. The further the
control is allowed to move forward, the further the mower
will turn left.
To steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right
steering control lever to move forward. The further the
control is allowed to move forward, the further the mower
will turn right.
To stop the reverse travel, place the speed control lever in
the neutral position and allow the steering control levers
to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to be
parked, engage the parking brake.
4.6 ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER
BLADES)
1. Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to
engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens
the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine
speed when engaging the deck drive.
2. Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the switch
lever (Figure 4-6) then pushing the switch lever
forward to the engage position.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Figure 4-6 Cutter Engage Switch
-NOTE-
If a squealing noise is heard when engaging or
disengaging the deck drive, it is caused by the
electric clutch plates meshing as the mower
comes up to speed.
3. To disengage the deck drive, pull the switch lever
down to the disengage position.
4. Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly
maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug
down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine
to operate at maximum RPM.
