WG Series operator controls (WG32A shown)

All of the controls on a WG Series Mower are within comfortable reach of the operator.
 
The location and operation of the following controls on all models offer greater convenience, improved productivity, and increased safety:

• Operator presence system – the bails must be depressed to operate the unit; the machine must be in neutral and the power take-off (PTO) must be disengaged to start.
• Separate choke and throttle – this takes the guesswork out of choke operation and there is less fouling of plugs.
• Pistol-grip controls – these controls are familiar to most operators and offer simplicity and reliability.
• Color-coded and clearly marked switches and buttons – these simplify operation.
• Bilingual decals – decals are provided in English and Spanish.

The WG Series Mowers are equipped with a 5-speed, gear-drive system with reverse, which does the following:

• Provides superior ground-speed adjustments to meet mowing application needs
• Allows easy, smooth shifting with a padded lever
• Can be shifted on the go
