CONTROLS Steering Control Levers Throttle Control The machine's speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. The steering controls can be moved forward or back about a neutral position. There is a neutral position, which is locked if the steering controls are moved out. When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still. By equally moving both controls forward or backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or backward. The throttle controls the engine speed and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled out. The control is moved forward or back to increase or decrease the engine speed. To prevent the risk of fouling the spark plugs, do not idle the engine for long periods. USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging. Ignition Switch Forward Neutral Park Brake Reverse 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. 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. The rotation direction when zero turning is determined by which steering control is moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the left. Use more care when using this maneuver. If the steering controls are in uneven positions when standing still or do not fit in the slots for moving the controls out, they can be adjusted. WARNING! The machine can turn very fast if one steering control is moved much further forward than the other. The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. On models with headlights, turn the key clockwise to ACCESSORY for headlight use. Choke Control The choke control is used for cold starts to give the engine a richer fuel mixture. For cold starts, pull the control up. 14
