Operation

Practice Turning Around a Corner

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.

Practice Turning In Place

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

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

Executing an End-Of-Row Zero

for

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.

Not

 

For example, to execute a left end-of row zero

 

turn:

 

 

1. Slow down at the end of the row.

 

 

2. Move the RIGHT ground speed control

 

 

lever forward slightly while moving the

 

 

LEFT ground speed control lever back to

 

center and then slightly back from center.Reproduction

3. Begin mowing forward again.

 

This technique turns the rider LEFT 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 Zero Turn will

 

be!
