OPERATION
OPERATING NOTES
– Practice at slow engine and travel speeds with the
PTO off until fully familiar with the controls.
– For normal cutting the throttle should be set at
the full open position. By using the traction levers
to speed up or slow down the machine during
use,maximum control and cutting efciency can
be maintained.
– Using the machine at less than full throttle in
heavy conditions will cause the engine to labor
and result in excessive wear tothe engine and
hydraulic system.
DRIVING
1. With the PTO disengaged, move the parking
brake to OFF.
2. Move both traction levers out of neutral lock.
3. Push both traction levers forward evenly to drive
forward in a straight line. Pull both traction levers
back evenly to drive backward in a straight line.
4. Steering - Move one lever forward and one back.
Turns during forward movement:
– Right turn - move the right traction lever back
toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.
– Left turn - move the left traction lever back to-
ward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.
Turns during reverse movement:
– Reverse right turn - move the right traction lever
forward toward neutral to slow the right drive
wheel.
– Reverse left turn - move the left traction lever
forward toward neutral to slow the left drive
wheel.
Use caution when making turns. Slow down before
making sharp turns to help maintain control and to
prevent torn turf from skidding or spinning tires. To
help prevent turf damage, keep both drive tires mov-
ing whenever a turn is made.
TIP: The best way to make a sharp "zero" turn
is to come to a stop, get the machine moving in
reverse with both drive wheels and then powering
the machine around with the outside wheel. This
technique keeps the drive tires turning and results in
less turf damage.
