that could be thrown by the rotating blades.
Engage the mower deck by pulling out the
5.
blade switch.
Move throttle control to full throttle. 6.
The machine’s speed and direction are 7.
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. When both controls are in the
neutral position, the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount
forward or backward, the machine moves
in a straight line forward or backward
respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while
moving forward, move the right control
towards the neutral position. The rotation of
the right wheel is reduced and the machine
turns to the right.
Turning on the spot (zero turn) can be
achieved by moving one control backward
(behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward
from its neutral position.
