Traction and Stopping Pedal
The traction pedal (Figure 22) has three functions: to make
the machine move forward, to move it backward, and to stop
the machine. Press the top of the pedal to move forward
and the bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist
in stopping when moving forward. Also, allow the pedal
to move to the neutral position to stop the machine. For
operator comfort, do not rest the heel of your foot on reverse
when operating forward (Figure 23).

engine RPM. Ground speeds are as follows:
•
2 to 5 MPH (3.2 to 8 km/h) forward mowing speed
•
8.8 MPH (14.1 km/h) maximum transport speed
•
2.5 MPH (4.0 km/h) reverse speed
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.
