WARNING
In the event of a system shutdown while mowing, move control
levers to neutral and spread them fully apart. See Figure 2-4

levers to decrease speed. The further back the control
levers are pulled the slower the travel speed until
neutral is reached.

When backing up, push forward gently on control
levers to decrease speed. The further forward the
control levers are pushed the slower the travel speed
until neutral is reached.

brake. (Ref. Frame #1)
