SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE
See Figure 3.
To set the parking brake:
Place the joystick in the neutral and locked position.
(See Learning to Drive the Mower later in the Opera-
tion section.)
Fully depress and hold the brake pedal.
Press your foot forward and fully depress the parking
brake with your toes.
Release the brake pedal.
To release the parking brake: depress and release the
brake pedal.
WARNING:
Never leave the mower unattended when the motor is
running or with the key in the power switch. Verify that
the parking brake is set and the key has been removed.
Failure to set the parking brake could cause the mower
to move, and leaving the key could allow unauthorized
use that could result in serious personal injury.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
See Figure 4.
Adjust the seat position forward or backward to ensure you
are able to make firm contact with the brake pedal before
operating the mower.
To move the seat forward or backward:
Turn the key to the OFF position and set the parking brake.
Sit down on seat and lift the seat adjustment lever.
While lifting up the lever, slide the seat to the desired
position.
Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in
position before operating the mower.
WARNING:
Be sure the seat is locked into place before operating the
mower. A seat that is not secure can cause the operator
to shift and lose control of the mower and result in pos-
sible death or serious personal injury.
