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 8), 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 8) is the lowest

setting and the positioning hole furthest from the ground

speed control levers (labeled as #3) is the fastest.

8

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 9.

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.
