Steering Control Levers
Steering Control Levers control the direction and speed
of the Zero Turn Mower in both forward and reverse
travel. Turning is controlled by pushing one lever forward
and pulling the opposite lever backward or to the neutral
position.
Moving the levers forward equally will cause the Zero
Turn Mower to travel forward in a straight line. Moving
the levers backward equally causes the Zero Turn
Mower to travel in reverse.
The further the levers are
moved forward or backward increases the speed of
travel in that direction.

STEERING LEVER IS MOVED MUCH FURTHER
FORWARD THAN THE OTHER.
Moving the right hand lever forward and the left hand
lever to the neutral position turns the Zero Turn Mower
left. Moving the left hand lever forward and the right hand
lever to the neutral position turns the Zero Turn Mower
to the right.
Moving the right hand lever forward and the left hand
lever backward the Zero Turn Mower will achieve a zero
turn to the left. Moving the left hand lever forward and
the right hand lever backward achieves a zero turn to the
right.
These maneuvers should be done with extra
care at a slow speed when turning.
The Parking Brake is located on the left side of the Zero
Turn Mower. To set the brake pull the lever up and push
down to release. When engaging the brake the Zero Turn
Mower must be completely motionless.
Always set the
Parking Brake before dismounting the Zero Turn Mower
and always release the brake before putting the Zero
Turn Mower into operation.
NOTE: If the Parking Brake is not set in the Park po-
sition when starting, the engine will not start and the
Parking Brake LED will be lit on the console. Release
the brake after the engine has started.
NOTE: Applying the parking brake while in forward
or reverse travel and the Steering Levers in the op-
erating position will stop the engine and could do
possible damage to the Hydrostat Drives.
