CONTROLS Steering Control Levers Park Brake The machine's speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. The steering controls can be moved forward or backward about a neutral position. There is a neutral position, which is locked if the steering controls are moved out. When the two controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still. Equally moving the two controls forward or backward moves the machine in a straight line forward or backward. 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. The park brake is integrated with the steering control levers. Move the two levers out from the neutral position to engage the park brake. To release the park brake, pull the two steering control levers inwards to the neutral position at the same time. Do not operate the unit without the two levers being inwards out of the engaged position or machine components could be damaged. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Failure to bring the steering / park brake controls inward at the same time will cause the unit's safety system to shut the unit down. Throttle Control Forward Neutral Park Brake Reverse 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. The throttle control regulates the engine speed and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled out. To increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is moved forward or back respectively. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging. WARNING! The machine can turn very rapidly if one steering control is moved much further forward than the other. 13

Steering Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. The steering controls can be moved
forward or backward about a neutral position.
There is a neutral position, which is locked if the
steering controls are moved out.
When the two controls are in the neutral position
(N), the machine stands still. Equally moving
the two controls forward or backward moves the
machine in a straight line forward or backward.
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.

Brake
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
rapidly if one steering control is moved much
further forward than the other.
Park Brake
The park brake is integrated with the steering
control levers. Move the two levers out from the
neutral position to engage the park brake.
To release the park brake, pull the two steering
control levers inwards to the neutral position at
the same time. Do not operate the unit without
the two levers being inwards out of the engaged
position or machine components could be
damaged.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Failure to bring
the steering / park brake controls inward at the
same time will cause the unit's safety system to
shut the unit down.
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed
and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming
the blade switch is pulled out.
To increase or decrease the engine speed, the
control is moved forward or back respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there
is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL
THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower
performance and battery charging.
