QUICKCAT
Turns during reverse movement:
–
Reverse right turn
-
move the right traction
lever forward toward
neutral to slow the right
drive wheel.
–
Reverse left turn
-
move the left traction
lever forward toward
neutral to slow the left
drive wheel.
Slow, sweeping turns are made with both traction
levers on the same side of neutral and slightly
apart. True zero radius turns about the center of the
machine are made by having one lever in reverse
while the other is in forward. By varying the relative
positions of the two levers, the rate of turn is varied to
suit the mowing situation.
Slow down before making sharp turns. The machine
is capable of turning very rapidly when the levers are
moved further apart from each other. Loss of control
and/or turf damage may result.
STOPPING
1. Turn PTO switch to OFF.
2. Release control traction levers or move to neutral.
3. Put machine in PARK.
4. Turn key to OFF (counterclockwise).
STEERING
Forward movement
- To
move the machine straight
ahead, push both control
levers forward equally
from their neutral posi-
tion.
Increase speed:
as the levers are moved
farther forward from the neutral position. There are
two maximum forward speeds. There is a "CUT"
speed and a "TRANSPORT" speed. Cut speed is
limited to a maximum recommended speed to obtain
a good quality cut. Transport speed is limited to
the maximum speed of the machine.
Decrease
speed:
when traveling forward, pulling the traction
levers rearward slows the machine.
Stopping:
The
machine will stop when the levers reach the neutral
position.
Reverse movement
- To
move the machine straight
back, pull both traction
levers back equally from
their neutral position. Reverse speed increases as
the levers are moved back farther. Maximum reverse
speed is reached when the levers stop. When mov-
ing in reverse, pushing the levers forward slows the
machine, and the machine stops when the neutral
position is reached.
NOTE
: The control levers are spring loaded to return
to neutral in both forward and reverse. This spring
resistance may be felt when moving the traction
levers. When control levers are released, spring
tension will return them to the neutral position.
To turn, move
one lever forward and one back.
Turns during forward movement:
–
Forward
Right turn
- move the right trac-
tion lever back toward
neutral to slow the right
drive wheel.
–
Forward Left turn
- move the left traction
lever back toward neu-
tral to slow the left drive
wheel.
