2.3 MOTION 

IMPORTANT:  This machine is equipped with 
hydrostatic drive. The direction and speed of 
movement are controlled by dual motion control 
levers.  A small amount of movement of either lever 
may cause the machine to move instantly, and can 
result in severe injury or damage.  Operate levers 
slowly and smoothly.   
 
To safely develop driving skills, practice driving the 
machine with blades disengaged, engine speed at a 
slow setting, in an open area away from people and 
obstacles.  (To safely roll the machine into an open 
area, refer to Section “ROLLING MACHINE 
MANUALLY”.) 
 
2.3.1. GETTING 

1.  Sit squarely in the operator seat, with feet firmly 
on the footrest. 
2. Be sure Blade Switch is pushed in to its off (‘0’) 
position.  See Figure 1.7. 
3.  Start engine. 
4.  Disengage parking brake.  See Figure 1.6. 
5. Drop both motion control levers down and in 
toward the center of the machine, and rest elbows 
comfortably on armrests.  See Figure 2.3. 
 
 

2.3.2.  FORWARD MOTION 
Slowly and equally push both levers forward.  See 
Figure 2.4.  The farther you push, the faster the 
machine will go.  (Machine speed can be further 
adjusted with the engine throttle control; return 
motion control levers to their neutral lock positions 
before adjusting engine throttle.)   
 

NOTE: If, with equal pressure applied to both motion 
control levers, machine ‘tracks’ (veers) right or left, 
refer to Section “MOTION CONTROL 
ADJUSTMENTS”. 
 
2.3.3.  REVERSE MOTION 
Slowly and equally pull both levers toward the back 
of the machine.  See Figure 2.5.  Note that the 
machine travels much slower in full reverse than in 
full forward.  Do not attempt adjustment of this 
important safety feature.
