Moving a lever forward (A) from the NEUTRAL position (B)
increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel, and
pulling back (C) on a lever increases the REVERSE speed.
Moving a levers outwards (D) from the NEUTRAL position
locks the levers in the NEUTRAL position.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Zero-Turn Driving Practice section for steering
instructions.

and back. Move the lever towards the left, position the seat as
desired, and release the lever to lock the seat in position.
