The mower is equipped with a separate transaxle
for each rear wheel. The transaxles are controlled
by the steering speed control levers. The left lever
controls the left rear wheel and the right lever
controls the right rear wheel.
To move forward, push both levers forward at
the same time, slowly and evenly. (See below)
To speed up the forward movement, push the
levers further forward. The further they are
pushed, the faster the mower will travel.
To move in reverse, pull both levers backward
at the same time, slowly and evenly. (See below)
To speed up the backward movement, pull
the levers toward you. The closer they are pulled,
the faster the mower will travel. NOTE: Never
mow in reverse.
To turn, slow the mower’s ground speed, then
further slow the speed of the wheel. Slow the
right wheel for a right-hand turn or the left wheel
for a left-hand turn.
(See below)
To reduce the speed of the mower, move the
steering speed control levers forward or backward
toward the neutral position.
Refer to the illustrations of steering speed control
levers’ positions shown below.
To execute a Zero Radius turn, evenly push
one lever forward and pull the other lever back-
wards.
Refer to illustrations shown below of the steer-
ing speed control levers’ position relative to the
mower wheels and the direction in which the
levers turn them.
Do not move the steering speed
control levers too rapidly or
start and stop the mower suddenly, especially on
grades. Failure to comply will result in personal
injury or death.
