OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROLS:

Be thoroughly familiar with all controls their function and how to operate them before operating
the mower.

1. Control levers: Located on each side of the handle control direction of movement. The left

lever controls the flow of oil from the left hydro pump to the left wheel motor. The right lever
controls the flow of oil from the right hydro pump to the right wheel motor.

2. Ground speed lever: Located in the center of the console. Controls the forward speed of the

mower. Push the lever forward if you want to go faster, pull it back to go slower or pull it all the
way  back to the neutral or stop postion.

 NOTE: To begin motion the operator must move the ground speed lever forward before disen-
gaging the thumb latches. After you release the thumb latches allow the control levers to move
forward at the same time. The mower will move in a straight line in that direction.
Movement of the right control lever forward will cause the right wheel to rotate in a forward direc-
tion. Movement of the left control lever forward will cause the left wheel to rotate in a forward
direction. To stop forward travel pull levers back into the neutral position.
To turn right while moving in a forward direction pull the right control lever back towards the
neutral position, this will slow the right wheel and cause the mower to turn in that direction.
To turn left  while moving in forward direction pull the left control lever back towards the neutral
position, this will slow the left wheel and cause the mower to turn in that direction.
