Steering Control Levers
WARNING!
The machine can turn very rapidly if one steering control is
moved much further forward than the other.
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable
using the two steering controls. The steering controls can
be moved forward or backward about a neutral position.
Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the
steering controls are moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine
stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward or
backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or
backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving forward, move
the right control towards the neutral position. The rotation of the
right wheel is reduced and the machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control backward
(behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other
steering control forward from its neutral position. The rotation
direction when zero turning is determined by which steering
control is moved backward behind the neutral position. If the
left steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns to
the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions when standing
still or do not fit in the slots for moving the controls outward,
they can be adjusted.
Park Brake
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine must stand
absolutely still when applying the park brake. Always set
the park brake before dismounting. Release the park brake
before moving the mower.
The park brake is found on the left of the machine. Pull the
lever backward to activate the brake and push forward to
release it.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is placed on the control panel and is
used to start and stop the engine. On models equipped
with headlights, turn the key clockwise to ACCESSORY for
headlight use.
