Practice Turning Around a Corner

While traveling forward allow one handle to gradually return back toward neutral. Practice several times before mowing.

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

Practice Turning In Place

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

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 make a 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 ground speed control lever
forward slightly while moving the RIGHT
ground speed control lever back to center
and then slightly back from center. Be sure
to keep both wheels moving to avoid turf
damage.
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 experienced
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 better
your control of the rider will be!	Figure 9. Executing an End-Of-Row Turn
