Operate the machine in a large, level, open area until you are familiar with its operation. Begin
with speed No. 1 and gradually work up to speed No. 4. (Figure 1)
To avoid damaging the transmission, always release the Clutch Lever (Figure 2) and wait for the
wheels to stop before shifting gears.
Forward momentum may cause the machine to gradually coast to a stop after the Wheel Drive
is released (especially when in 3rd or 4th gear). Allow for this coasting distance when stopping
the machine.
Engage the Clutch Lever slowly when starting off in 3rd or 4th gear. The machine may hesitate
briefly before the wheels begin turning.
Shift to a lower forward gear if the wheel loses traction when going up a slope (always avoid
excessively steep slopes). Before shifting, turn the machine sideways on the slope to prevent
rolling of the machine and to relieve strain on the transaxle.
Never force the shift lever as damage may result.
If shifting is difficult, it may be necessary to manually move the machine a few inches forward or
backward while moving the shift lever.
