1. Make sure the Left Control Lever is down out of the Neutral Lock position.

amount to go straight. It is recommended you start slow and increase your speed as you increase
your comfort with the controls.
3. Allowing the Left and Right Control Levers to return to a center neutral position allows the mower to
stop moving. Note: if the operator lets go of the Left Control Lever while the blades are engaged
and/or the mower is moving, the safety interlock system will stop the engine. To restart the mower,
reset the Blade Control Lever to “Off” and the parking brake to the “On” position.
NOTE: Top speed is suggested only for transport.

leaving the operator position for any reason, disengage the blades, shut off the engine, engage the
parking brake, and remove the key.

wheels to prevent the mower from rolling away.
