Operating the Blades
The blade-control switch engages and disengages power
to the mower blades. This switch controls power to any
attachments that draw power from the engine, including the
mower deck and cutting blades.
Engaging the Blades
Important:
Do not engage the blades when parked in
tall grass. Belt or clutch damage can occur.
Note:
Always engage the blades with the throttle in the
F

Driving the Machine
This machine has the characteristics of both a garden tractor
and a zero-turn machine. Like a garden tractor, the machine
has a foot pedal that controls the forward and reverse motion
along with the speed, and it has a steering wheel that controls
the direction and the turning radius. Like a zero-turn machine,
the rear drive wheels operate independently of each other,
enabling you to make sharp turns and to turn in different
directions quickly. These characteristics vastly improve the
maneuverability of the machine, but they may also require
you to practice driving if you are unfamiliar with this type of
machine.
WARNING
The machine can spin very rapidly. The operator
may lose control of the machine and cause personal
injury or damage to the machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in
rpm (revolutions per minute). Set the throttle control in the
F
AST
position for best performance. For most applications,
operating in the full-throttle position.
Driving Forward or Backward
1. Move the throttle to the F
AST
position.
2. Release the parking brake. Refer to Operating the
SmartPark
™
Parking Brake (page 17) .
3. Place your foot onto the traction-control pedal and
slowly press the top of the pedal to go forward or press
on the bottom of the pedal to move backward (
Figure
13 ).
Note:
The farther you move the pedal in either
direction, the faster the machine moves in that
direction.
