Ride-On Mower Operator's Manual

English-29
OPERATION
Running
1. Release the parking brake by moving the
lever downward.
Your mower is equipped with an operator
presence system. When the engine is
running, any attempt by the operator to
leave the seat without first setting the
parking brake will shut off the engine.
2. Move the steering controls to the neutral
position (N).
3. Select the cutting height by the cutting
height pedal.
4. Engage the mower deck by pulling out
the blade switch.
5. Move throttle control to full throttle (not
choke)
6. The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two
steering controls. When both controls are
in the neutral position, the machine
stands still.
By moving both controls an equal
amount forward or backward, the
machine moves in a straight line forward
or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while
moving forward, move the right control
towards the neutral position. The rotation
of the right wheel is reduced and the
machine turns to the right.
