Drive Clutch Lever (SDA, TDA) 
Push the drive clutch lever forward 
and hold it against the handlebar to 
propel the mower forward.

Release the drive clutch lever to 
stop the mower’s forward 
movement.

Always release the drive clutch 
lever before starting the engine. If 
the drive clutch is engaged, the 
mower will move forward when you 
operate the starter.

Operate the drive clutch lever with a quick and complete motion, so the 
drive clutch is either fully engaged or fully released. Hold the drive 
clutch lever against the handlebar during self-propelled mowing. This 
will help to extend the service life of the clutch mechanism.

Shift Lever (TDA)
Use the shift lever to adjust the 
forward speed of the mower. Do not 
use the throttle lever; the throttle 
lever must be kept in the FAST 
position for the best mowing 
performance.

You may move the shift lever 
anytime; however, if the mower is 
pulling hard, release the drive 
clutch lever between shifts for 
smooth operation.

1st and 2nd gears are 
recommended for maximum 
mowing performance. 3rd gear 
should be used to transport the 
mower.
