Driving the mower
DANGER:
Never make sudden stops or reverse direction, especially when maneuvering on a slope.
The steering is designed for SENSITIVE response. Rapid movement of the steering control levers in either
direction could result in a reaction of the machine that can cause serious injury.
WARNING:
Make sure seat pan is securely locked in place down prior to each use to prevent seat from
moving/tilting in the event of mower tipping or rollover.
After pressing the push button start to ON position:
To go forward,
push both Drive Control Bars forward an equal distance
To go in reverse,
pull both Drive Control Bars rearward an equal distance
To turn left,
move the right Drive Control Bar farther forward from neutral than the left Drive Control Bar.
To turn right,
move the left Drive Control Bar farther forward from neutral than the right Drive Control Bar.
Zero radius turn,
move one Drive Control Bar forward and the other Drive Control Bar back of neutral. This
will allow the drive wheels to counter-rotate.
To stop or decrease speed:
To stop, move both Drive Control Bars to neutral, middle position
and
push
levers
OUTWARD
into the neutral slots. When going forward and want to decrease speed, pull back gently on
both Drive Control Bars. When going in reverse and want to decrease speed, push forward gently on Drive
Control Bars.
For an emergency stop:
When traveling forward or rearward, place the Drive Control Bars in the neutral middle position and push
levers OUTWARD into neutral slots
–
this will engage mower safety brakes. Any sudden movement could
cause the front of the mower to come off of the ground resulting in possible loss of control causing serious
injury or death. Turn the push button start to the OFF position. This will shut down the traction drive system
and the deck blade system.
WARNING:
Always be aware of what is behind the machine before backing up. Do not mow in reverse
unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing up.
IMPORTANT:
Rapid movement of Drive Control Bars is not recommended as damage to the electric system components
may occur.
To increase speed,
increase the Drive Control Bars distance from neutral. The farther forward the Drive
Control Bars are from neutral, the faster the machine will travel forward. The farther back the Drive Control
Bars are from neutral, the faster the machine will go in reverse. Also changing the Drive Speed Control
Switch from Low to High will increase or decrease the speeds of mower in forward, reverse and turning.
