3. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 CONTROLS
3.1.1 Familiarize yourself with all controls before operating the mower.
3.1.2 Motion Control Levers: Located on each side of the console.
The left lever controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the left hydrostatic pump to the left
drive wheel motor. The right lever controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the right
hydrostatic pump to the right drive wheel motor.
IMPORTANT: To begin movement (forward or backward) the operator must be in
the seat, the brake lever must be disengaged (pushed down) before the motion
control levers can be moved in or the engine will kill.
When levers are centered in the T-slot the drive system is in the neutral position. With
levers moved out in the T-slot the drive system is in the
neutral lock
position (See
Figure 6).
FIGURE 6
By moving both levers an
equal
amount forward or back from the neutral position the
machine can be caused to move forward or backward in a straight line.
Movement of the
left lever forward
will cause the
left drive wheel
to rotate in a
forward direction. Movement of the
right lever forward
will cause the
right drive
wheel
to rotate in a forward direction. To
stop
forward travel, pull the levers back to
the neutral position.
To
turn left
while moving forward, move the
left lever
back toward neutral to slow the
left drive wheel. To
turn right
while moving forward, move the
right lever
back
toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.
To make a
zero turn
to the
left
, pull the left lever back beyond neutral while holding
the right lever slightly ahead of neutral.
To make a
zero turn
to the
right
, pull the right lever back beyond neutral while
holding the left lever slightly ahead of neutral.
Pulling the
levers back
from the neutral position will cause the respective drive wheels
to rotate in a
reverse
direction (spring tension can be felt when moving into reverse
from neutral).
To turn to the left while backing, move the left lever forward toward neutral. To turn to
the right while backing, move the right lever forward toward neutral.
