Driving the Machine
The drive wheels turn independently , powered by
hydraulic motors on each axle. Y ou can turn 1 side
in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing
the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly
improves the machine maneuverability but may
require some time for you to adapt to how it moves.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the F AST position for best
performance. Always operate in the full throttle
position when mowing.
W ARNING
The machine can spin very rapidly . Y ou
may lose control of the machine and cause
personal injury or damage to the machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making
sharp turns.
Driving Forward
Note: Always use caution when turning.
1. Move the levers to the center , unlocked position.
2. T o go forward, slowly push the motion-control
levers forward ( Figure 25 ).
