Section 4
In case of an emergency, such as loss of control,
stop the mower’s movement by quickly pulling the
forward speed control lever to the neutral position.
Forward Travel
-NOTE-
Use one hand on both steering levers as shown in
Figure 4-4 to minimize overcontrol.
To travel forward with the mower, move the speed control
lever forward. Do not push the steering control levers
forward as they are used only for steering the mower left
or right. When the speed control is moved forward, the
mower will travel forward at the speed the control lever is
set at. To increase the speed, push the control lever forward
and to decrease the speed, pull the control lever back. It is
not necessary to hold the speed control in position, since a
friction system holds the lever in position.
To stop the forward travel, pull the speed control lever
back to the neutral position.
Figure 4-4 Hands On Controls
To steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull the
left steering lever back. The further the lever is pulled
back, the sharper the mower will turn left.
To steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull the
right steering control lever back. The further the lever is
pulled back, the sharper the mower will turn right.
-NOTE-
Smooth operation of the steering levers will
produce a smooth mower operation. While
learning the operation of the steering controls,
keep the travel speed low.
-IMPORTANT-
Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower
will hang up on the curb. Tilt the deck and
travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree
angle. (See section 4.15 for cutter deck tilting
instructions)
Reverse Travel
SCR 2K HOC
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Before backing up, observe the rear for persons
and obstructions. Clear the area before backing up.
Possible injury or property damage could occur.
Disengage power to the mower before backing up.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary
and then only after observation of the entire area
behind the mower.
To travel in reverse, pull both handles all the way back.
Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.
-NOTE-
The mower will not travel straight in reverse.
Slight adjustments must be made using the
steering controls.
