Blade Control Lever
The blade control lever starts
and stops blade rotation. To
start blade rotation, the button
must be pressed and held
down before pushing the blade
control lever forward.
Once the blade control lever
has been moved forward, the
button may be released.
Drive Clutch Lever
The drive clutch lever engages
and disengages the
transmission. Speed is
selected by the shift lever
(page 10).
The drive clutch lever is used
to adjust the ground speed by
varying the position of the
lever. Fully released, the
transmission is disengaged. As
the lever is pushed forward,
power is applied to the rear
wheels based on the position
of the shift lever (page 10).
The blade control lever is
pushed forward when the drive
clutch lever is engaged, but unless the button is pressed first, the blade
will not rotate.
