4.7 ADJUSTING GROUND SPEED AND
DIRECTION

-NOTE-

If you are not familiar with the operation of

the hydrostatic drive, practice turning and ma-

neuvering with the foot controls before engag-

ing the blades. Learn the operation in an open

area away from buildings, fences, or obstruc-

tions. Learn the operation on a flat ground

before operating on slopes. Start maneuver-

ing with SLOW engine speed until you are fa-

miliar with all operating characteristics. Prac-

tice maneuvering the mower until you can

make it go exactly where you intend.

-NOTE-

If the mower is driven on public roads, it must

comply with state and local ordinances as well

as SAE J137 and/or ASME S279 requirements.

Contact your local authorities for regulations

and equipment requirements.

-NOTE-

The left operator foot pedal must be depressed

before operation.

-NOTE-

Before shifting from forward to reverse, or re-

verse to forward, come to complete stop then

shift the foot pedal to the desired direction.

2. To travel backwards (reverse), depress the right foot

pedal at the heel (See Figure 4-7). The further the

pedal is depressed the faster the mower will travel

backwards. Use slower traveling speed when traveling

backwards and observe the area behind you before

moving.
