Motion Control Levers
The motion control levers are speed sensitive
controls of independent wheel motors. Moving
a lever forward or backward turns the wheel on
the same side forward or in reverse. Moving the
control levers outward from the center position
engages the parking brake and allows the operator
to exit the machine (Figure 5).
Parking Brake
The parking brake is automatically set when the
motion control levers are in the brake position.
Always position the motion control levers into the
brake position when you stop the machine or leave
it unattended (Figure 5).
Height-of-Cut Lever
The height of cut lever allows the operator to
lower and raise the deck from the seated position.
When the lever is moved up, toward the operator
the deck is raised from the ground and when
moved down, away from the operator it is lowered
to the ground. Only adjust the height of cut while
machine is not moving (Figure 5).
Recycle-On-Demand Lever
Use the recycle-on-demand lever to switch from
collection mode to Recycler
®
mode. Move the
lever forward until it stops to open the deck door
to allow clippings to travel to the collection bags.
Move the lever rearward until it locks in position
to close the deck door and engage the Recycler
®
mode (Figure 7).
