Driving Forward
1. Release the parking brake.
2. With drive levers locked in “neutral”, shift speed
control lever to desired forward speed.
3. Slowly squeeze and hold both drive levers in
the neutral position and rotate both neutral lock
latches from the neutral lock position to the
forward position.
Note:
Do Not squeeze both drive levers all the
way back. This will cause the drive wheels to
engage in the reverse direction.
4. To move forward in a straight line, smoothly
release both drive levers to engage drive wheels.
To turn left or right, squeeze the right hand drive
lever to turn right and the left hand drive lever
to turn left.
To make a “zero turn”, squeeze either the left
hand or the right hand drive lever back into the
reverse position while the opposite drive lever is in
a forward position at an equal but opposite speed.
Note:
For smooth operation of this machine,
avoid quick, jerky movements of the drive levers.
Move the drive levers smoothly and deliberately.
To stop, squeeze drive levers back to the “neutral”
position. Move the neutral lock latches into the
“neutral lock” position and release drive levers.
Move the speed control lever to the neutral
position.
Driving in Reverse
To move rearward in a straight line, squeeze drive
levers into the reverse position.
To turn left or right, squeeze the right hand drive lever
to turn left and the left hand drive lever to turn right.
To make a “zero turn”, squeeze either the left hand
or the right hand drive lever back into the reverse
position while the opposite drive lever is in a forward
position at an equal but opposite speed.
Note:
For smooth operation of this machine, avoid
quick, jerky movements of the drive levers. Move the
drive levers smoothly and deliberately.
To stop, squeeze drive levers back to the “neutral”
position. Move the neutral lock latches into the
“neutral lock” position and release drive levers. Move
the speed control lever to the neutral position.
Transporting
Transporting a Unit
WARNING
Loading the mower onto a trailer without
strong enough or properly supported ramps
could be dangerous. The ramps could
collapse causing the unit to fall, which could
cause injury.
• Use proper ramps that are secured to the
truck or trailer.
• Keep feet and legs out from under the
unit when loading and unloading.
• If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is closed.
Use a heavy duty trailer to transport the machine.
Engage neutral lock latches and park brake, then
block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer with straps,
chains, cables, or ropes.
Do Not rely solely on the parking brake to hold the
machine on the trailer.
Be sure that the trailer has all necessary lighting and
marking as required by law and use a safety chain.
