TRACTION PEDAL SPEED LIMITER ___________________________________________
Cutting quality is better at speeds well below the
transport speed of the mower. An initial mow speed of 6
mph is set at the factory and should be satisfactory for
most cutting conditions. Local turf conditions however
may respond better to a different speed.
To adjust mow speed, loosen jam nut
(J)
and adjust stop
screw up to reduce speed, or down to increase speed.
Tighten nut to hold adjustment in place.
