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 7) is the lowest

setting and the positioning hole furthest from the ground

speed control levers (labeled as #3) is the fastest.
To adjust the position of the Maximum Forward Speed Bar

pull the T-handle knob (D) out to release the maximum

forward speed bar, position the Maximum Forward Speed Bar

in the desired location, and then release the T-handle knob.

Make sure that the T-handle knob locks the maximum forward

speed bar into place.

You should only adjust the position of the Maximum

Forward Speed Bar after you have stopped all movement

of the unit.

Ground Speed Control Levers:

 These levers control the

ground speed of the unit. The left lever (B, Figure 7) controls

the left rear drive wheel and the right lever controls (C) the

right drive wheel.

FORWARD

NEUTRAL

REVERSE

Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of

the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever increases

the REVERSE speed.

The ground speed control levers cannot be moved from the

NEUTRAL position until the parking brake lever is moved to

the DISENGAGED position.

Note: 

The further a lever is moved away from the neutral

position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See 

Driving the Zero-Turn Riding Mower

 section for steering

instructions.

 

Parking Brake:

 Pull the parking brake lever

rearward and up to engage the parking brake. Move the lever

fully forward and down to disengage the parking brake.

DISENGAGE:

 Releases the

parking brake.

ENGAGE:

 Locks the parking

brake.

Operator Platform:

 The operator stands on the operator

platform while driving the machine. Keep both feet on the

operator platform at all times.
The operator platform is integral to the safety interlock

system:

• If the operator steps off the operator platform while the

unit is running and the PTO switch is engaged, the PTO

will shut off.

Transmission Oil Fill: 

Transmission oil is added through the

hydraulic oil tanks. It also serves as extra holding capacity

for oil as the transmissions heat up and the hydraulic oil

expands. See 

Check / Fill Transmission Oil

 for oil level check

and fill procedures.

Fuel Tank Cap:

 To remove the cap, turn 

counter-clockwise

.

Transmission Release Levers: 

 

A.

Disengaged Position (Bypass Position)

B.

Engaged Position (Run Position)

This unit is equipped with two transmission release levers.

The transmission release levers deactivate the transaxle

so that the unit can be pushed by hand. Both transmission

release levers must be in the same position whether you are

driving the unit or pushing it by hand. See 

Pushing the Unit by

Hand

 for operational information.
