STOPPING THE ELECTRIC ZERO TURN MOWER
DANGER : Never make sudden stops or sudden direction reverses, especially when maneuvering on a slope. The
steering levers are designed for sensitive response. Rapid movement of the steering levers in either direction could result
in a reaction of the mower that can cause serious injury.
1. Return the steering levers to the Neutral Position.
2. Push the PTO switch downward to disengage the deck motors/mower's cutting blades.
3. Open the steering levers outward into the stop position.
4. Set the parking-brake pedal to the braking position.
5. Press the start/stop button for more than 3 seconds to turn off the mower.
NOTICE: After more than 3 minutes without operating, the mower will automaticly shut off.
6. Remove the safety key from the mower and keep it in a safe place.
WARNING: Do not stop the mower on a slope. Always stop the mower on a flat, level surface and never leave the
mower unattended with the safety key inserted, even just for a brief period. Leaving the key may allow unauthorized use
that could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: When the mower stops driving on a slope and the operator is off the seat without setting the park brake
pedal at the braking position, the beeping indicator will sound continously to remind the operator to set the park brake
for safe mower stopping on the slope. Always set the park brake pedal at the braking position when leaving the seat.
Otherwise, when the battery power is depleted, the mower will slide down the slope, which may cause serious
mower damage or personal injury!
DRIVING THE ELECTRIC ZERO TURN MOWER (Fig. 23)
After starting the mower, engage the steering levers as follows:
◾
To go forward, push steering levers forward an equal distance.
◾
To go in reverse, pull steering levers rearward an equal distance.
◾
To turn left, move the right steering levers farther from neutral than the left steering lever.
◾
To turn right, move the left steering levers farther from neutral than the right steering lever.
◾
To execute a zero-radius turn, slow down first and then move one steering lever forward and the other steering
lever back of neutral. This allows the drive (rear) wheels to counter-rotate.
NOTICE: Rapid movement of steering levers is not recommended as damage to the electric components of the mower
may occur.
NOTICE: Aggressive turning can scuff or damage lawns. Perform zero turns at low driving speed. Always keep both
wheels rotating when making sharp turns. Do not make turns with inside wheel completely stopped. For minimum
turning radius, slowly reverse the inside wheel while moving the outside wheel slowly forward.
◾
To stop or decrease speed, move the steering levers to neutral. When going forward, pull back gently on the
steering levers. When going in reverse, push forward gently on the steering levers.
