Operation
DRIVE IN REVERSE
1. Before driving in reverse, look to the rear. Look
behind and down for small children to
ensure safety.
2. Remove your foot from the forward speed control
pedal (1) (see Figure 13).
3. Slowly push the reverse speed control pedal (2) to
enable reverse ground speed.
4. To increase reverse speed, slowly push down on
the reverse speed control pedal. To reduce reverse
speed, release the reverse control pedal until the
unit slows to the desired speed.
CHANGE DIRECTIONS
CAUTION: To change directions, do not use the
brake pedal. Use only the speed control pedals.
1. Slowly remove your foot from the forward speed
control pedal (1) or reverse speed control pedal (2)
(see Figure 13). The forward speed control pedal or
reverse speed control pedal will automatically
return to the NEUTRAL position.
2. When the unit stops, slowly move the forward
speed control pedal or reverse speed control pedal
to the desired direction.
Disconnect the Transmission
To push the unit, use the automatic drive disconnect to
release the transmission. The automatic drive
disconnect is located near the right rear tire.
1. The engine must be off.
2. Move and latch the automatic drive disconnect in
the PUSH position (see B, Figure 11). The
transmission is now released and the unit can
be pushed.
NOTE: In cold weather, the heavy viscosity oil in the
transmission will make the unit difficult to push.
3. To engage the transmission, unlatch and push-in
the automatic drive disconnect. The transmission is
now connected and ready to operate.
Use the Parking Brake
1. Fully depress the clutch/brake pedal
(see Figure 12).

3. Remove your foot from the clutch/brake pedal and
then release the parking brake knob. Make sure the
parking brake will hold the unit.
4. To release the parking brake, fully depress the
clutch/brake pedal. The parking brake will
automatically release.

release the speed control pedal. Set the
parking brake. Move the blade rotation control

and remove the ignition key.
Change the Cutting Height
To change the cutting height, raise or lower the lift lever
as follows.
1. Move the lift lever forward to lower the mower deck

2. When you ride on a sidewalk or road, move the lift
lever to the highest position and move the blade
rotation control to the DISENGAGE position
(see Figure 8).

until the grass bagger assembly is completely open
at the bottom (see Figure 16).
