Stopping the Power Unit To slow or stop the power unit, move the SDLA control lever or optional foot pedal toward the neutral posi- tion. Return the SDLA control lever or optional foot pedal to the neutral position to make a complete stop. If in the case of an emergency, the power unit cannot be stopped with the SDLA control lever, pull back on the parking brake lever to engage the parking brake. CAUTION If the parking brake is engaged while the power unit is moving, the engine will shut off and the power unit will come to an abrupt stop. Shutting Off the Engine 1. Park the power unit on a level surface and engage the parking brake. 2. Move the throttle lever to the slow idle position. 3. Allow the engine to idle for 3 - 5 minutes. 4. Turn the key to the Off position and remove the key from the ignition switch. 5. When parking the power unit at the end of the day, turn the battery disconnect switch and the fuel shut-off valve to the Off positions.
1. Forward 3. Reverse Push the SDLA control lever forward (1) to move the power unit in the forward direction. Pull the SDLA control lever backward (3) to move the power unit in the reverse direction. Changing the amount the SDLA control lever is moved changes the ground speed of the power unit. Moving the lever one half of the stroke will result in approximately one half of the maximum ground speed. Moving the lever to the end of the stroke will result in maximum ground speed. If the power unit is equipped with an optional foot pedal, the foot pedal can be used to control the speed 2. Neutral and direction instead of the SDLA control lever. The SDLA control lever should be used for precision control in tight spaces or when connecting an attach- ment. The foot pedal is better suited to controlling speed and direction in open areas.
