Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
2.2  STARTING & STOPPING – ENGINE, BLADES, 

PARKING BRAKE 
This machine is equipped with dual hydrostatic 
wheel drive transmissions. Each transmission is 
controlled by a single motion control lever or 
joystick. This single control lever (joystick) controls 
the direction of motion, Forward and Reverse, and 
the speed of motion. Move the joystick forward to 
propel the machine forward. Move the control 
rearward to propel the machine in reverse. The 
speed of motion is continuously variable from 
neutral (zero) to maximum. Moving the joystick 
farther from the neutral position will cause the 
speed of motion to increase. To turn, move the 
joystick towards the side you want to turn to. DO 
NOT make sudden changes in speed or direction. 
Always slow machine motion before turning. To 
stop the motion of the machine bring the joystick 
back to the neutral position. Engage parking brake. 
 
2.2.1. STARTING ENGINE 
When the ignition key is turned the engine will not 
start or turn over unless the parking brake is 
engaged and the blade switch is pushed in to

checked. Replacement of electric clutch may be
