The parking brake must be disengaged before attempting to
move the ground speed control levers from the NEUTRAL
position.
Moving a lever forward (A) from the NEUTRAL position (B)
increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel, and
pulling back (C) on a lever increases the REVERSE speed.
Moving the levers outwards (D) from the NEUTRAL position
locks the levers in the NEUTRAL LOCKOUT position.
Note:
The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the
Zero-Turn Riding Mower Driving Practice
