 Maintenance chart
The steering system of this mower uses indvidual right
and left traction levers on the handle bars.  Squeezing
the traction lever will reduce tension on the wheel drive
belt eliminating power to that wheel.  With the opposite
wheel still under power a turn is accomplished. If the
traction lever is squeezed even tighter the brake will be
applied to that wheel and a tighter more abrupt turn is
accomplished.    LEARN  HOW  TO  USE  THESE
IMPORTANT STEERING/BRAKE CONTROLS!
