3. Move the throttle/choke control lever forward to the FAST
position.
NOTE: Although the riding mower's engine is designed to run at full throttle,
when performing a practice session the riding mower must be operated at
less than full throttle. This only applies to practice.
Always maintain a firm grip on the control levers. DO NOT release the
control levers to slow or stop the riding mower; move levers to neutral
position using your hands.
4. To drive the riding mower, firmly grasp the respective drive control levers
with your right and left hands and continue with Driving the Riding mower
Forward.
Driving the Riding mower Forward
Keep all movement of the drive control levers slow and smooth. Abrupt
movement of the control levers can affect the stability of the riding mower
and could cause the riding mower to flip over, which may result in serious
injury or death to the operator.
1. Slowly and evenly move both drive control levers forward. The riding mower
will start to move forward. See Figure 13.

OPERATION
Turning the Riding mower While Driving Forward
When reversing the direction of travel, we recommend performing gradual
'U' turns where possible. Sharper turns increase the possibility of turf
defacement, and could affect control of the riding mower. ALWAYS slow
the riding mower before making sharp turns.
To turn the riding mower while driving forward, move the control levers as
necessary so that one lever is rearward of the other. The riding mower will turn in
the direction of the rearward control lever.
1. To turn to the left, move the left drive control lever rearward of the right
lever. See Figure 14.
2. To turn to the right, move the right drive control lever rearward of the left
lever. See Figure 15.
