The parking brake must be disengaged before attempting to
move the ground speed control levers from the NEUTRAL
position.
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 LOCKOUT position.
Note:The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See theZero-Turn Driving Practicesection for steering
instructions.

Retractable Seat Belt: The seat belt is used to secure the
operator to the seat.
The seat belt should always be worn when the Roll Bar is in
the raised position. The seat belt should never be worn when
the Roll Bar is in the down position.
Fuel Selector Valve: Turning the handle to the desired
position determines which tank will be supplying fuel. With
the handle pointing LEFT, it will draw fuel from the left-hand
tank. With the handle pointing RIGHT, it will draw fuel from
the right-hand fuel tank. With the handle pointing towards the
operator, it will shut off fuel flow to the engine.
Fuel Tank Cap: To remove the cap, turn counter-clockwise.
Removable Floor Plate: The floor plate can be removed
for easy access to the mower deck. To remove the plate,
remove the retainer hardware and tilt the floor pan up and
then remove from the machine. Reverse the process for re-
installation.
Transmission Oil Fill: Transmission oil is added through the
hydraulic oil tanks. It also serves as extra holding capacity
for oil as the transmissions heat up and the hydraulic oil
expands. See Check / Fill Transmission Oil for oil level check
and fill procedures.
