NOTICE:
When the word "together" is used in the instructions that
follow, it means that both the left and right drive levers
should be even or aligned in whatever position is being
described. If one of the levers is in a different position,
a different outcome will result other than the one being
described.
 When entering and exiting the mower seat, both drive
levers should be in the open position (pushed away from
the seat in both directions).
 Once you are seated and ready to begin, press and re-
lease the brake pedal to make sure the parking brake is
released.
 Insert the start key and turn to the ON position.
 Pull both levers all the way in toward the seat. This is the
neutral position, which is used for starting the mower
and also to bring the mower to a gradual stop.
 Press the low speed drive button to activate.
 Push both drive levers forward (past neutral) together to
drive the mower forward in a straight line. The farther
forward the levers are pushed, the faster the mower will
go. To slow down, pull both levers together back toward
the neutral position.
 Pull both drive levers backward (before neutral) together
to drive the mower in reverse in a straight line. The farther
back the drive levers are pulled, the faster the mower will
go. To slow down, push both levers together back toward
the neutral position.
 To make turns, the drive levers will no longer be moved
together. One drive lever will be forward or behind the
other, depending on the direction being traveled (forward
or reverse) and the desired turn direction. If driving for-
ward, the drive lever in the rear position will control the
direction of the turn. If driving in reverse, the lever in the
front position will control the direction of the turn.
 To make a zero turn, slow down, but make sure the rear
wheels are still in motion. Then move the drive levers
in opposite directions one past neutral and one before
neutral. Which lever is in which position determines the
direction of the turn.
NOTE: Perform zero turns at slow speed to help prevent
damage to your lawn.
