Lift the joystick to release it from the locked, neutral posi-
tion. Push the joystick forward (from neutral) to drive the
mower forward in a straight line. The farther forward the
joystick is pushed, the faster the mower will go. To slow
down, pull joystick back toward the neutral position.
To stop, move the joystick back into the center, neutral
position.
Pull the joystick backward (from neutral) to drive the
mower in reverse in a straight line. The farther back the
joystick is pulled, the faster the mower will go. To slow
down, push the joystick back toward the neutral position.
To stop, move the joystick back into the center, neutral
position.
To make turns, push the joystick in the desired turn direc-
tion. When driving forward or reverse, the angle of the
joystick 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 joystick directly
to the right or left of neutral. This determines the direction
of the of the rotation of the turn.
NOTE: Perform zero turns at a slow speed to help prevent
damage to your lawn.
