Figure 4-3.  Travel Controls

1.  Release parking brake.

2.  Move control handles out of neutral.

3. Forward 

travel.

4. Reverse 

travel.

To travel forward with the mower, slowly push the steering 
control levers forward an equal distance.  The further the 
steering control levers are pushed forward the greater the 
forward speed will be. To increase the speed, push the 
steering control levers further forward and to decrease the 
speed, pull the steering control levers back.

To stop the forward travel, pull the steering control levers 
back to the neutral position.

To steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull the left 
steering lever back. The further the lever is pulled back, the 
quicker the mower will turn left.

To steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull the 
right steering control lever back. The further the lever is 
pulled back, the quicker the mower will turn right.

- NOTE -

Smooth operation of the steering levers will 
produce smooth mower operation. While learning 
the operation of the steering controls, keep the 
travel speed low. 

- IMPORTANT -

Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower will 
hang up on the curb. Raise the deck and travel 
backwards over the curb at a 45 degree angle. 
(See Figure 4-1 item 12 for cutter deck raising 
description.)

REVERSE TRAVEL

 CAUTION

Disengage power to the mower before backing 
up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely 
necessary and then only after observation of the 
entire area behind the mower.

 CAUTION

Before backing up, observe the rear for persons 
and obstructions. Clear the area before backing 
up. Possible injury or property damage could 
occur.

To travel in reverse, pull levers inward out of the neutral 
lock position and pull both handles back. Keep the travel 
speed low while traveling in reverse.

- NOTE -

The mower may not travel straight in reverse. 
Slight adjustments may need to be made using 
the steering controls.

To steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left steering 
control lever to move forward. The further the control is 
allowed to move forward, the quicker the mower will turn 
left.
