Do not tamper with the valves and fittings on the cylinder. 27 OPERATION Read the Safety Instructions section and the following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine. Pull back on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this will allow mower to start moving backwards. Push forward on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving. To turn to the right While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction. To turn to the left While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction. To zero turn While moving in a forward direction, first pull both control levers back until the mower stops or slows dramatically. Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward position and the other in the reverse position, the mower turns to the direction of the reverse position lever. Training Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steering capabilities. We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety prior to attempting to move the mower under its own power. Additionally, we suggest when first operating the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced ground speed by NOT moving control levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions during initial operation, or until operator becomes comfortable with controls. We also suggest first time users, or new users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as concrete or blacktop PRIOR to attempting to operate on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with mower controls and zero turning capability, they may damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers. Steering To move forward and backward The direction and speed of the mower’s movements is effected by the movement of the control lever(s) on each side of mower. The right control lever controls the right wheel. IMPORTANT INFORMATION When control levers are in the reverse position they return to neutral when released. This may cause the mower to suddenly stop. First time users should push mower (see Manual Transport in the Operation section) to an open, flat area, without other people or vehicles or obstacles nearby. To move unit under its own power, the operator must be in the seat, start engine (see Before Starting in the Operation section), adjust engine speed to idle, disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as the control levers have not been moved forward or backwards, mower will not move. This 28 OPERATION Roll Bar and Safety Belt Operate the unit with the roll bar in the raised and locked position and use the seat belt. The seat belt must be used when the roll bar is in upright position. Before Starting • Read the sections Safety Instructions and Controls before starting the machine. [. . . ] Touch up damage to the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of the mower deck to avoid corrosion. 2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may have become loose. 4. For gasoline engines - empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the carburetor. [. . . ]
