4.2 Stopping The Engine
Stop the engine by throttling down to a slow idle, then turning the ignition key switch to the
OFF position. Wait for all motion to stop. Set the parking brake before dismounting the
Lastec Mower.
4.3 Motion Control
WARNING!
ALWAYS clear the entire area of all personnel before operating the Lastec Mower!
ALWAYS verify that all safety covers are in place and secure before operating the
Lastec Mower!
ALWAYS wear the seatbelt when operating the Lastec Mower!
The Lastec Mower 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 correspond-
ing 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. Pull-
ing the right steering control arm back activates the right drive wheel in the reverse direc-
tion.)
The steering control arms also govern the ground speed of the Lastec Mower. The farther
from the neutral position the arm is pushed or pulled, the faster the corresponding drive
wheel turns. Always use the steering control arms to regulate ground speed - NOT the
throttle control.
