Steering Speed Control Levers
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 con-
trols 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.
To speed up the forward movement, push levers
farther forward away from you. The farther they are
pushed, the faster the mower will travel.
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.
Start-Up and Operation of Mower (Continued)
To move in reverse, pull both levers backward at the
same time, slowly and evenly.
To speed up the backward movement, pull levers
toward you. The closer they are pulled, the faster the
mower will travel.
To turn, slow the mower’s ground speed, then further
slow the speed of the right wheel for a right-hand
turn, or the left wheel for a left-hand turn.
Refer to illustration shown below of steering speed
control levers’ position relative to mower wheels and
the direction in which the levers turn them.
