Neutral Lock Position:
• Forward and reverse movement of the
motion control levers is prevented when
levers are in the swung out (neutral lock)
position. Machine should not move with
the steering levers in the swung out (neu-
tral lock) position and the park brake
released. If machine does move, see
“Neutral Adjustment” section page 31.
• Steering levers must be in the swung out
(neutral lock) position to start the engine.
• Steering levers must be in the swung out
(neutral lock) position to safely enter and
exit the operator seat.
• Operator can exit mower with the engine
running when the steering levers are in
the swung out (neutral lock) position, PTO
switch is disengaged, and the park brake
is engaged.
Operating Position:
• Machine speed, motion and direction can
be controlled when the engine is running,
park brake is released, and steering levers
are in the swung in (operating) position.
Neutral
• When the steering levers are swung in
and centered fore and aft, they are in op-
erating (neutral). In operating (neutral),
the hydrostatic pumps do not deliver fl uid
to the wheel motors.
Forward and Reverse Motion:
• Pushing both levers forward at the same
time will move the machine forward.
• Pulling both levers to the rear at the same
time will move the machine in reverse.
• The further forward or rearward the steer-
ing levers are moved, the faster the
machine will move in that direction.
Turning:
• While moving forward, turn gently right by
pushing the left lever further forward than
the right.
• While moving forward, turn gently left by
pushing the right lever further forward
than the left.
• Make a sharp turn right by pushing the left
lever forward and pulling the right lever
rearward at the same time.
• Make a sharp turn left by pushing the right
lever forward and pulling the left lever
rearward at the same time.
• DO NOT turn the machine by leaving one
lever in neutral and moving the other le-
ver. This will cause damage to the turf
under the tire that is not rotating.
Stopping:
• To stop motion, move both steering levers
back to neutral. Machine is equipped with
springs to automatically return both levers
to neutral. If levers do not automatical-
ly return to neutral, see your authorized
Grasshopper dealer for adjustment.
If you become confused during
operation, release both steering le-
vers. They will automatically return
to the centered neutral position and
the machine will stop.
Inspect hydrostatic drive belt(s)
daily. DO NOT operate on steep
slopes. DO NOT operate near drop
off s or embankments.
Since hydrostatic drive systems are a direct,
hydraulic connection to the drive wheels, they
provide a means of braking during operation.
If the hydrostatic drive system belt breaks or
comes off , the system no longer provides any
control. In this condition, return steering le-
vers to the swing out, neutral position and
apply the parking brake. The pumps (in the
neutral position) will provide the most resis-
tance to the drive wheels. Do not move the
steering levers from the swung out, neutral
position, as this will open passage ways in the
pumps and freewheeling can occur.
