Select the cutting height with the cutting 

3. 

height adjustment pedal.
Make sure the work area is free from objects 

4. 

that could be thrown by the rotating blades.
Engage the mower deck by pulling out the 

5. 

blade switch.

Move throttle control to full throttle. 

6. 

The machine’s speed and direction are 

7. 

continuously variable using the two steering 

controls. When both controls are in the 

neutral position, 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.  

Turning on the spot (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.
