Operation 13
MAN0875 (2/8/2011)
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
Practice steering maneuvers at half throttle.
STEERING HANDLE OPERATION
Moving steering levers rapidly from forward to
reverse or reverse to forward could cause loss of
control.
Do not operate power unit with attachment
removed. Attachment is required for power unit
stability.
NOTE: Speed and direction are controlled with steer-
ing handles. Pushing handles forward will move power
unit forward. Pulling handles to the rear will move the
power unit in reverse. The further forward or rearward
the steering handles are moved, the faster the machine
will move.
Steering Handle Positions
NOTICE
If you become confused during operation,
return both handles to the center NEUTRAL posi-
tion and the power unit will stop.
Forward Both handles forward
Reverse Both handles rearward
Gentle Right Left handle further forward than right
Gentle Left Right handle further forward than left
360° Left Left full rearward / right full forward
360° Right Right full rearward / left full forward
NOTE: Moving one handle forward with the other han-
dle in NEUTRAL will also result in a 360-degree circle.
However this will cause one drive wheel to dig into the
turf and should be avoided.
