Operation

Practice Turning Around a Corner

Practice Turning In Place

While traveling forward allow one lever to gradually return back toward neutral. Repeat several times.

NOTE: To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best to keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.

To turn in place, “zero turn,” gradually move one motion control lever forward from neutral and one lever back from neutral simultaneously. Repeat several times.

NOTE: Changing the amount each lever is pulled—for- ward or back, changes the “pivot point” you turn on.

ADVANCED DRIVING

Executing an End-Of-Row Zero

Turn

Your zero turn rider’s unique ability to turn in place allows you to turn around at the end of a cutting row rather than having to stop and Y- turn before starting a new row.

For example, to execute a right end-of row zero turn:

1. Slow down at the end of the row.

2.Move the LEFT motion control lever for- ward slightly while moving the RIGHT motion control lever back to center and

then slightly back from center.

3. Begin mowing forward again.

This technique turns the rider RIGHT and slightly overlaps the row just cut —eliminating the need to back up and re-cut missed grass.

As you become more familiar and experi- enced with operating the zero turn rider, you will learn more maneuvers that will make your mowing time easier and more enjoyable.

Remember, the more you practice, the bet- ter your control of the rider will be!
