Greetings,
Glad I found this forum and hope someone can help before I reck this BigDog. I just purchased it and can't figure out how to slow the mower down. It just goes to fast for me. I'm 65 and running over everything! It is the model BlackJack that has an electric lift for servicing the deck. The Hustler Raptor Flip-Up is the same and both are manufactured by the same company. It is zero turn and you have to keep the throttle at full speed for the blades / cutting deck to operate properly. You have the two handles that you drive with by pushing forward or reverse. Is there a way to possibly adjust the handles where the top speed is reduced? At least till I learn how to drive this. I had a 1976 Yazoo until this year she finally quit on me. Any help greatly appreciated. Rick:confused2:
