Control Functions
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and
mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination
and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The left
lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right lever
controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of
the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases
the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the
neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operation section for proper steering
instructions.
Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever
towards the left, position the seat as desired, and release the
lever to lock the seat in position.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF
Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN
Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START
Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped–this drains the
battery.
Hour Meter
The hour meter measures the number of hours the PTO has
been engaged. The hour meter has a self contained power
source so that total hours are always visible.
