OPERATION

Drive Clutch Lever (SDA, TDA)
Push the drive clutch lever forward
and hold it against the handlebar to
propel the mower forward.
Release the drive clutch lever to
stop the mower’s forward
movement.
Always release the drive clutch
lever before starting the engine. If
the drive clutch is engaged, the
mower will move forward when you
operate the starter.
Operate the drive clutch lever with a quick and complete motion, so the
drive clutch is either fully engaged or fully released. Hold the drive
clutch lever against the handlebar during self-propelled mowing. This
will help to extend the service life of the clutch mechanism.
Shift Lever (TDA)
Use the shift lever to adjust the
forward speed of the mower. Do not
use the throttle lever; the throttle
lever must be kept in the FAST
position for the best mowing
performance.
You may move the shift lever
anytime; however, if the mower is
pulling hard, release the drive
clutch lever between shifts for
smooth operation.
1st and 2nd gears are
recommended for maximum
mowing performance. 3rd gear
should be used to transport the mower.
