steers, before you begin mowing, is absolutely essential to
getting the most out of the zero-turn riding mower.
Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn, one with plenty of room
to maneuver. Clear the area of objects, people, and animals
before you begin. Operate the unit at mid-throttle during this
practice session (ALWAYS operate at full throttle when mowing),
and turn slowly to prevent tire slippage and damage to your
lawn.
We suggest you begin with the
Smooth Travel procedure, and
then advance through the forward, reverse, and turning
maneuvers.
Prior to moving the ground speed control levers, the operator
must be standing on the operator platform and the parking brake
must be disengaged.
Adjusting the Maximum Forward Speed Bar
This zero-turn riding mower is equipped with an adjustable
maximum forward speed bar (A, Figure 10), which is located in
front of the ground speed control levers (B & C). The maximum
forward speed bar can be adjusted in three different positions
to suit the desired maximum forward speed of the operator. The
positioning hole closest to the ground speed control levers
(labeled as #1 in Figure 10) is the lowest setting and the
positioning hole furthest from the ground speed control levers
(labeled as #3) is the fastest.

For operator’s learning to drive the machine it is recommended
that the slowest speed setting (position # 1) be used until the
operator is comfortable driving the machine.
To adjust the Maximum Forward Speed Bar to the desired
position:
1.
Bring the mower to a complete stop.
2.
Pull the T-handle knob (D) out, move the maximum forward
speed bar desired hole location, release the T-handle knob.
Make sure that the T-handle knob locks the maximum
forward speed bar into place.
Smooth Travel
The ground speed control levers of the zero-turn riding mower
are responsive.
The BEST method of handling the ground speed control levers
is in three steps — as shown in Figure 11.
11
FIRST, place your hands on the ground speed control levers
and the maximum forward speed bar as shown.
SECOND, to go forward gradually push the ground speed control
levers with the palms of your hands evenly towards the
maximum forward speed lever.
THIRD, to speed up squeeze the ground speed control levers
to the maximum forward speed lever. To slow down smoothly,
slowly move the levers evenly towards neutral.
