panel.
To transport the machine, the lever has 2 positions:
N

. Pushing the lever to the
traction—F
ORWARD
(transport) position or the

To move the lever, you must first engage the
operator-presence control.

. Move the top of the lever to the
left, then forward to the traction—F

position to engage the reel and
begin mowing. Push the lever to the right to the
traction—F

(transport) position to disengage
the reel and continue forward motion or pull back on it
to the traction—N
EUTRAL
and reel drive—D
ISENGAGE
position to disengage both the reel and the traction
drive (
Figure 27 ).
Note:
If you release the operator-presence control,
the lever returns to neutral and the machine stops.
Automatic-Motor Brake
The machine is equipped with an automatic-motor
brake that prevents it from rolling when the machine
is shut off. The motor brake is on whenever the
traction drive is in the N
EUTRAL
position or you move
the speed control to the Z
ERO
position, except in the
following circumstances:
•
When the machine is turned off, use the
parking-brake latch to ensure that the service
brake is consistently engaged.
•
When you start the machine with the key switch,
the motor brake is initially disengaged. After
driving the machine, the motor brake functions
normally.
•
If you move the speed control to zero speed while
the reels are engaged (i.e., while mowing), the
brake does not engage. This feature allows you
to move to the speed control to the Z
ERO
position
while mowing and pull the machine rearward to
make course corrections.
Kickstand
The kickstand ( Figure 29 ) is mounted to the rear of
the machine. Use the kickstand when you install or
remove the transport wheels or the cutting unit.
•
To use the kickstand to install the transport wheels,
lower the kickstand to the ground and step down
on the loop while pulling up and back on the
lower-center handle (
Figure 28 ).
CAUTION
The machine is heavy and can cause back
strain if lifted improperly.
Put your foot pressure down on the
kickstand loop and use only the
lower-center handle to raise the machine.
Attempting to raise the machine onto the
kickstand any other way can cause injury.
