To turn right, rotate the H-bar handle to the right and out of the neutral position. To zero turn, rotate H-bar handle the direction desired with the handle in the neutral position. This will allow the drive wheels to counter-rotate. To stop or decrease speed, move H-bar handle to neutral. When going forward rotate handle rearward gently. When going in reverse rotate handle forward. DANGER: When traveling in reverse rotate handle forward gently and avoid sudden movement. Any sudden movement could cause the front of the mower to come off of the ground resulting in possible loss of control. To increase speed, move the cruise control lever farther forward. This allows the H-bar handle to rotate further from neutral. The farther the H-bar handle is rotated forward from neutral, the faster unit will travel forward. The farther the H-bar handle is rotated rearward from neutral, the faster unit will go in reverse. Rear deck pin Measure from here Lock nut Front deck pin Figure 3-10 1.
