CONTROLS
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 back 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
fast if one steering control is moved much
further forward than the other.
Throttle Control
The throttle controls the engine speed and the
rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade
switch is pulled out.
The control is moved forward or back to increase
or decrease the engine speed.
To prevent the risk of fouling the spark plugs, do
not idle the engine for long periods. USE FULL
THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower
performance and battery charging.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the
engine. On models with headlights, turn the key
clockwise to ACCESSORY for headlight use.
Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts to give
the engine a richer fuel mixture. For cold starts,
pull the control up.
