CONTROL S

Steering Control Levers

The machine's speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. The steering controls can be moved
forward or backward about a neutral position.
There is a neutral position, which is locked if the
steering controls are moved out.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N),
the machine stands still.
By equally moving both controls forward or
backward, the machine moves in a straight line
forward or backward.
For example, to turn right while moving forward,
move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced
and the machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and
carefully moving the other steering control forward
from its neutral position. The rotation direction
when zero turning is determined by which
steering control is moved backward behind the
neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled
backward, the machine turns to the left. Use more
care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions
when standing still or do not fit in the slots for
moving the controls out, they can be adjusted.
WARNING! The machine can turn very
rapidly if one steering control is moved much
further forward than the other.

Park Brake

The park brake is found on the left of the
machine. Pull the lever backward to operate the
brake and push forward to release it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine
must stand still when applying the park brake.
Always set the park brake before dismounting.
Release the park brake before moving the
mower.

Throttle Control

The throttle control regulates the engine speed
and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming
the blade switch is pulled out.
To increase or decrease the engine speed, the
control is moved forward or back respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there
is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL
THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower
performance and battery charging.
