Troy-Bilt RZT manual Driving the Tractor In Reverse, Turning While Driving Rearward

Page 16

IMPORTANT: Always maintain your grasp on the drive control levers. Do not release the levers to slow the tractor or to return to neutral.

Turning the Tractor While Driving Forward WARNING!: When reversing the direction of travel, we recommend performing gradual ‘U’ turns where possible. Sharper turns increase the possibility of turf defacement, and could affect control of the tractor. ALWAYS slow the tractor before making sharp turns.

To turn the tractor while driving forward, move the control levers as necessary so that one lever is rearward of the other. The tractor will turn in the direction of the rearward control lever.

•To turn to the left, move the left drive control lever rearward of the right lever. See Figure 5-4.

•The greater the fore-to-aft distance between the two levers, the sharper the tractor will turn.

•To execute a “pivot turn,” move the turn side drive control lever to the neutral position, while moving the other control lever forward.

IMPORTANT: Making a “pivot turn” on grass will greatly increase the potential for defacement of the turf.

•As the control levers are pushed farther rearward the speed of the tractor will increase.

•To slow the tractor move the controls lever forward to attain the desired speed, or move the levers to the neutral position to stop the tractor.
