disengaged before the motion control levers can
be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will
kill.
By moving the levers an equal amount forward
or back the machine will move in a straight
line in that direction.
Movement of either lever forward will cause
the right or left wheel to rotate in a forward
direction. To stop movement pull both levers
into the neutral position.
To turn right while moving in a forward direction
pull the right lever back toward the neutral
position, this will slow the rotation of the right
wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To turn left while moving in a forward direction
pull the left lever back towards the neutral
position, this will slow the rotation of the left
wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To zero turn pull one lever back beyond neutral
while holding the other slightly ahead of neutral.
NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will be
determined by which lever is pulled back beyond
neutral. Thus left lever back, left zero turn and
opposite for right zero turn. Use extra care when
using this maneuver the machine can spin
very rapidly if one lever is positioned too far
ahead of the other.

WARNING!
The machine can turn very rapidly
if one steering control is moved
much further forward than the
other.
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other
objects that can be thrown out by
the blades.
• Locate and mark rocks and other fixed objects
in order to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it
until the desired mowing result is attained.
• The mowing result will be best with a high
engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and
low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the grass
is not too long and
