Operation
Driving The Mower
Before attempting to drive the mower make sure you have
read the Features and Controls section and understand the
location and function of the controls.
The hydrostatic transmission has an infinite number of
speeds between full speed forward and reverse, with the
faster speeds being achieved by moving the forward speed
control lever and reverse speed control levers farthest in the
direction of travel.
For normal use, the throttle should be kept fully open and
the ground speed of the machine determined by the forward
speed control lever. When transporting the machine or when
loading or unloading from a truck or trailer, partial throttle
should be used to slow the reaction time of the controls and
reduce noise.
Practice maneuvering the machine at a slow engine speed on
level ground with the PTO switch in the “OFF” position until
you are familiar with the controls.
To Move Forward and Set Forward Speed
1. Disengage the parking brake.
2. Gently move the forward speed control lever (A, Figure
8) forward until desired speed is achieved.
To Move Backward
1. Disengage the parking brake.
2. Gently squeeze both reverse speed control levers (B)
evenly, until desired speed is achieved.
To Slow or Stop Machine
1. Gently squeeze both reverse speed control levers evenly
to slow the machine.
2. Continuing to squeeze the reverse speed control levers
will stop the machine.
3. Once the machine is stopped, firmly depress the neutral
return pedal to place the transmissions in neutral.
4. Engage the parking brake.
NOTE: Continuing to squeeze the reverse speed control
levers after the machine is stopped, will cause the machine
to move in reverse.
Turning the Machine
Note: Always reduce speed in a turn.
Turning Left:
Gently squeeze the left hand reverse speed control lever (C).
A sharp or gentle turn is determined by the amount of force
applied to the steering control lever.
Turning Right:
Gently squeeze the right hand reverse speed control lever
(D). A sharp or gentle turn is determined by the amount of
force applied to the steering control lever.
