The Lastec Mower 3372 is equipped with two hydrostatic pumps, one operating each rear drive
wheel. These pumps are controlled separately with each of the steering control arms (located to
the left and right of the operator seat).
Verify that all safety covers are in place and secure before operating the Lastec Mower. Buckle the
seatbelt. Always wear the seatbelt when operating the Lastec Mower. Clear the entire area of
all personnel before operating the Lastec Mower.
Start the engine in accordance with section 4.1 of this manual.
Pushing a steering control arm forward activates the hydrostatic pump on the corresponding side,
turning the drive wheel in the corresponding direction. (i.e., pushing the right steering control arm
forward activates the right drive wheel in the forward direction. Pulling the right steering control
arm back activates the right drive wheel in the reverse direction.)
