Drive lever - left hand

Drive Levers

The machine’s speed and direction are continuously 
variable using the two motion control levers.
by releasing both controls an equal amount the 
machine moves in a straight line forward.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving 
forward, squeeze the right control upward toward 
the handle (neutral position). The rotation of the right 
wheel is reduced and the machine turns to the right.
To stop forward travel, pull both drive levers up into 
the neutral position.
When both controls are in the neutral position, the 
machine stands still. The controls will be locked in 
neutral position when both neutral locks are engaged.

Ignition Switch

The ignition key switch is located on the control panel 
at the lower right.

Recoil Starter Grip

Pull the recoil starter grip slowly until you feel 
compression, then pull it briskly.
Normally this engine will not backfire. If you get 
backfires, contact your Husqvarna dealer for service.
