Using the Traction Assist

Handle

The traction assist handle (A) allows you to use your

hands to control the speed of the mower instead of

your walking speed. This is helpful in some situations,

such as turning tight corners, where you want the

mower to move but cannot move yourself. It is also

helpful for keeping the mower at maximum speed.

until you release the traction assist handle and stop

walking.
