3.4. HST REVERSE TRAVEL PEDAL
Depress this pedal, and the lawn mower starts revers-
ing. Reverse travelling speed is controlled only by de-
pressing it: reverse travel accelerates and decelerates
by the extent the pedal is depressed.
WARNING: After a long time of use, the neu-
tral position of the HST unit may change,
which will cause various troubles such as
difficulty in stopping the lawn mower, chang-
ing over between forward travel and reverse
travel, etc., which is very dangerous.
IMPORTANT: • When the HST unit is out of order, ask
your dealer to repair it.
• The adjustment of the neutral position
of the HST unit should be done by your
dealer.
3.5. DIF-LOCK PEDAL
To minimize the turning radius of the lawn mower, the
differential is installed, which causes the right and left
driving wheels to turn at different speeds when turn-
ing. On the other hand, it causes the wheels to slip on
wet grass or soft ground. In such a case, lower engine
speed and depress the dif-lock pedal, and then the
differential is locked and both wheels turn at the same
speed, which results in straighter travelling.
WARNING:
• Never use the dif-lock when travelling at
high speeds.
• It is very dangerous to attempt to turn the
lawn mower with the dif-lock pedal de-
pressed. When turning the lawn mower,
be sure to release the dif-lock pedal.
• When the dif-lock is not released despite
releasing the dif-lock pedal, stop the lawn
mower immediately and ask your dealer
to repair.
4. OTHER CONTROLS
4.1. SAFETY SWITCHES
The operator’s seat, master brake pedal, PTO lever
and engine hood are equipped with a safety switch re-
spectively. Before starting the engine, close the engine
hood securely, the operator should be seated in the op-
erator’s seat, keep the master brake depress position
and move the PTO lever to the OFF ( ) position.
CAUTION: When the engine does not start
due to a defective safety switch or does not
stop when the operator has left the operator’s
seat, consult your dealer at once without fail.
3. CONTROL PEDALS
(1) Master brake pedal

(5) Dif-lock pedal
3.1. MASTER BRAKE PEDAL
The lawn mower stops travelling by depressing this pedal.
3.2. PARKING LOCK (E TYPE)
When parking the lawn mower (E type), the master
brake pedal can be locking the parking lock as the park-

3.3. HST FORWARD TRAVEL PEDAL
Depress this pedal, and the lawn mower starts moving
forward. Forward travelling speed is controlled only by
depressing it: forward travel accelerates and deceler-
ates by the extent the pedal is depressed.
WARNING: After a long time of use, the neu-
tral position of the HST unit may change,
which will cause various troubles such as
difficulty in stopping the lawn mower, chang-
ing over between forward travel and reverse
travel, etc., which is very dangerous.
IMPORTANT: • When the HST unit is out of order, ask
your dealer to repair it.
• The adjustment of the neutral position
of the HST unit should be done by your
