Positioning the
Tilt Steering Wheel
On select models the steering wheel tilts up and
down. Position the steering wheel where you have the
best control of the machine and are most comfortable.
1. Push in on the tilt button (Fig. 10).
2. Move the steering wheel to any of three
positions; then release the button.

Headlights
Headlights are optional on some models. A
dash-mounted “ON/OFF” switch (Fig. 1) controls the
headlights. The lights only shine while the engine is
running and the switch is “ON.”
Pushing the Machine by Hand
IMPORTANT: Always push the machine by
hand. Never tow the machine because
transaxle damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the blade control (PTO), and turn the
ignition key to “OFF” to stop the engine.
2. Hook the drive control in the “PUSH” position.
This disengages the drive system and allows the
wheels to turn freely (Fig. 11).
To Operate the Machine
1. MOVE the drive control to the “OPERATE”
position. This engages the drive system
(Fig. 11).
Note:
The machine will not drive unless the
drive control is in the “OPERATE”
position.
