(7) Shift Lever:
Use this lever for driving, stopping
operations, and adjusting the direction
and speed of travel. Moving the shift lever
from the [Neutral / N] position to forward
will put the machine in [Forward / F], and
moving it backwards will put it in [Reverse
/R]. You can increase or decrease the
speed by moving the lever further forward
or backward. Using the adjustment screw
allows you to keep the lever engaged with
minimum pressure.
(8) Auxiliary Shift Lever:
[(HI)] position is for [MOVE].
Please do
the mowing operation in the [(LOW)]
position
.
For safety reasons,
when you work on a
slope, please work on a slope of 10° or less
.
Please make sure that you put the lever through the guide notch on each shift lever
position. In the [NEUTRAL / N] position, you can push the machine without starting the
engine.
When you operate the machine, make sure the lever is securely in position (low or high).
Adjusting speeds while driving or operating when the lever is not firmly in place is very
dangerous and may cause slipping through the gears. When you push the machine without
starting the engine, be sure at least two people push it.
Always turn the lever to the [(LOW)] position while mowing. Mowing at [(HI)] position is
excessively fast and may cause an accident, as there is less time to avoid collision
.
(9) Differential Lock Lever:
Normally use the lever in the [OFF] position. To keep the rear wheels from slipping on
soft and/or sloping ground, or when loading and unloading from trucks or trailers, turn
the differential lock lever to the [ON] position on both rear tires to increase the turn
