The parking brake is found on the left of the 
machine. Pull the lever backward to activate 
the brake and forward to release it. 

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. 
Furthermore, there is a neutral position, 
which is locked if the steering controls are 
moved outward.

When both controls are in the neutral position 
(N), the machine stands still. 

By moving both controls an equal amount 
forward or backward, the machine moves in a 
straight line forward or backward respectively. 

In order, 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 extra care 
when using this maneuver.

If the steering controls are in uneven
