Eachpersonoperatingthemowermustbeofsoundmindandbodyandmustnotbe undertheinfluenceofanymindalteringsubstance. WARNING! [. . . ] We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety prior to attempting to move the mower under its own power. Additionally, we suggest when first operating the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced ground speed by NOT moving control levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions during initial operation, or until operator becomes comfortable with controls. We also suggest first time users, or new users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with the mower's movement on a hard surface, such as concrete or blacktop PRIOR to attempting to operate on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with mower controls and zero turning capability, they may damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers. IMPORTANTINFORMATION Whencontrolleversareinthereverseposition theyreturntoneutralwhenreleased. Thismay causethemowertosuddenlystop.

The left control lever controls the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right wheel. First time users should push mower (see Manual Transport in the Operation section) to an open, flat area, without other people or vehicles/obstacles nearby. In order to move unit under its own power, the operator must be in the seat, start engine (see Before Starting in Operation section), adjust engine speed to idle, disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as the control levers have not been moved forward or backwards, mower will not move. Slowly move both control levers forward slightly. This will allow mower to start moving forward in a straight 24 OPERATION BeforeStarting Read the sections Safety Instructions and Controls before starting the machine. Release the parking brake by moving the lever downward. Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system.
