CAUTION!
Loss of control may occur when breaking in an emergency (pushing steering control
arms from full reverse to full forward, or vice versa). Training is required.
Release the parking brake. Verify that the parking brake is off before attempting any travel
with the Lastec Mower.
In order to maneuver the Lastec Mower, you must first remove both steering control arms
from the neutral lock position. Simply grasp each steering control arm with each hand,
and pull them both toward the center of the unit until they are free from the neutral lock.
You are now ready to begin maneuvering the Lastec Mower. Following are the proper
steering procedures:
To travel forward: Push both control levers forward evenly. The farther they are
pushed, the faster the Lastec Mower travels.
To travel in reverse: Pull both control levers backward evenly. The farther they are
pushed, the faster the Lastec Mower travels.
To turn to the right: Push the left control lever forward slowly, and maintain the
right control lever in neutral position.
To turn to the left: Push the right control lever forward slowly, and maintain the left
control lever in neutral position.
To obtain a zero turn radius (ZTR) to the right: Push the left control lever forward
slowly, while simultaneously pulling the right control lever backward slowly.
To obtain a zero turn radius (ZTR) to the left: Push the right control lever forward
slowly, while simultaneously pulling the left control lever backward slowly.
To stop: Return both control levers to the neutral position.
To change directions: Slowly return both control levers to the neutral position, and
allow the Lastec Mower to slow to a stop. Then slowly move the control levers into
the appropriate positions to travel in the desired direction.
NOTE: When the control levers are released, they automatically return (slowly) to
the neutral position, stopping all motion of the Lastec Mower.
