manual mode. The AUTO indicator will
be flashing.
To resume SurePath Auto Steer Mode,
briefly press the SET LINE/ENGAGE AUTO button on the Operator Control Panel.
NOTE: Do not hold the SET LINE/ENGAGE AUTO button down when resuming SurePath
Auto Steer Mode. Holding the button for 3 seconds or more will reset the system,
erasing the A and B points previously set.
Automatic Shut Off or GPM Signal Loss
If the GPM loses signal, the mower will return to manual mode. The following sequence
will occur:
1.
The Indicator/Warning Lights on the Light Module will flash red and the system
will stop steering the mower.
2.
The operator must resume control of the steering wheel and turn it slightly to
either the right or left to return to manual mode.

To move the mower, slowly push the forward drive pedal forward. The SurePath
Auto Steer system will keep the mower aligned with the preset mowing line.
NOTE: The speed of the mower will affect cut quality of the lawn. Mowing at full
speed will adversely affect a high quality cut lawn. Control the ground speed with
the drive pedals.
2.
When approaching the other end of the strip, release pressure on the forward
drive pedal slightly to slow down before initiating a right or left zero turn. Briefly
press the right or left turn button on the Operator Control Panel.
