Driving the Mower
!
Never make sudden stops or sudden reversing of travel
direction,especially when going down a slope. The steering is
designed for sensitive response. Rapid movement of control
levers could result in a reaction that can cause serious injury.
Never make sudden speed changes from reverse to forward.
Always push control levers forward gently to avoid sudden
change in speed. Any sudden forwardspeed change can cause
the front wheels to raise off the ground resulting in loss of
control, mower damage and/or personal injury.
DANGER
!
DANGER
NOTE: When turning on soft wet turf, keep both
wheels rolling either forward or backward. Pivoting
on a stopped wheel can damage the turf.
To Start and Increase Speed
Refer to Figure 2-7 on page 17:
After starting theengine, release park brake and engage
control levers by moving handles fully (IN). This makes
the levers ready for steering while traveling.
Moving control levers an equal distance away from
neutral will increase travel speed.
• Start forward travel by gently pushing on the control
levers. The further forward the control levers are
pushed the faster the travel speed.
• Start backing up bygently pulling onthe control levers.
Thefurther back the control levers are pulledthe faster
the travel speed.
