Travel continued
Forward travel: Grip either handlebar and lay the
thumb over the travel rocker lever. Push forward
with the thumb to travel in the forward direction.
The forward speed will increase as the rocker
lever is pushed further forward or decrease as the
lever is allowed to return under the action of the
return spring. The required forward speed will be
maintained by maintaining the control lever in the
desired position.
Reverse travel: Grip either handlebar and lay the
thumb over the travel rocker lever. Pull backwards/
downwards with the base of the thumb to travel in
a reverse direction. The reverse speed will increase
as the rocker lever is further depressed or decrease
as the thumb pressure is reduced and the lever
returns under the return spring action.
Stop travel: Release the travel rocker lever and it
will automatically return to the neutral position,
thereby causing the mower to come to a standstill.
Adjustment of travel rocker levers: Both LH and
RH travel rockers levers are adjustable for operator
comfort. To adjust, slacken the appropriate bolt (1)
and move the lever assembly (3) in the required
direction. Retighten the clamp bolt securely before
operating machine.
Transmission Bypass Valve Control
When the engine is switched off, the hydrostatic
transmission is locked and acts as an effective
brake. This prevents the mower from being moved.
Activation of the bypass valve lever will unlock the
transmission and allow the machine to be moved
in a forward or reverse direction. Depress and hold
the bypass valve lever before attempting to move
the mower and release it on completion of the
manoeuvre.
IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - Do not
operate the bypass valve lever while the engine
is running as this will cause a rapid temperature
rise in the hydrostatic system.
