toward the opposite from the side that was advanced — I.E. to turn clockwise (to the Right), move the LEFT lap bar for- ward more than the right side, and to turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT), move the RIGHT lap bar forward more than the left side. NOTE: If one lap bar is in the neutral position and the other is advanced, the turn side tire will not rotate and a “pivot turn” will be executed

— turf defacement could occur (if on grass) as well as potential damages to the traction surface and the tire. If the lap bar on the turn side is not brought all the way to neutral, then the turn side tire will continue to rotate and a “U-turn” will be executed with a low potential for turf defacement as well as traction surface and tire damage.

i.To drive in the REVERSE direction:

1.Make sure no bystanders, animals, or objects are behind the machine. Look behind the machine, and use extreme care.

2.Slowly, move both lap bars toward the rear of the machine until the machine begins to move rearward. Release the lap bars and the machine should stop.

The more the lap bars are moved toward the rear of the machine, the faster the machine will move in the reverse direc- tion. Release the lap bars and the machine should stop traveling in reverse (this is a safety check, the normal proce- dure is for the operator to slowly bring the lap bars to the neutral position).

3.Do not move the lap bars rapidly as this could cause turf defacement and/or loss of traction.

4.To turn, move one lap bar ahead of the other and the machine will turn toward the same side that was moved — I.E., to turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT), move the LEFT lap bar rearward more than the right side, and to turn clockwise (to the RIGHT), move the RIGHT lap bar rearward more than the left side. NOTE: If one lap bar is in the neutral position and the other is moved, the turn side tire will not rotate and a “pivot turn” will be executed. Turf defacement could occur (if on grass) as well as potential dam- ages to the traction surface and the tire. If the lap bar on the turn side is not brought all the way to neutral, then the turn side tire will continue to rotate and a “U-turn” will be executed with a low potential for turf defacement as well as traction surface and tire damage.

j.To perform a “zero turn”:

1.Please note, a zero turn maneuver can not be executed while the machine is moving in the forward or, reverse direc- tions, the machine must come to a stop first.

2.To turn clockwise, slowly move the LEFT lap bar forward while simultaneously moving the RIGHT lap bar rearward. Release both lap bars and the machine should stop turning.

3.To turn counter-clockwise, slowly move the RIGHT lap bar forward while simulta- neously moving the LEFT lap bar rear- ward. Release both lap bars and the machine should stop turning (this is a safety check, the normal procedure is for the operator to slowly bring the lap bars to the neutral position).

Note: If low traction conditions occur, follow these procedures for “zero turns”:

To turn clockwise (front of machine moves toward RIGHT) when traveling FORWARD:

1.Come to a stop,

2.Then slowly move both lap bars rearward (no more than 1/2 maximum reverse speed) to initiate REVERSE travel,

3.Then slowly move the LEFT lap bar forward while maintaining the RIGHT lap bar in the rearward travel position.

4.To stop the turn and reintiate FORWARD travel, slowly move the RIGHT lap bar from the REVERSE travel position to a FORWARD travel position equal t that of the LEFT lap bar.

5.Alternatively, release both lap bars and the machine should stop turning, (this is a safety check, the normal procedure is for the operator to slowly bring the lap bars to the Neutral psoition).

To turn counter-clockwise (front of machine moves toward LEFT) when traveling FORWARD:

1.Come to a stop,

2.Then slowly move both lap bars rearward (no more than 1/2 maximum reverse speed) to initiate REVERSE travel,

3.Then slowly move the RIGHT lap bar forward

while maintaining the LEFT lap bar in the rearward travel position.

4.To stop the turn and reintiate FORWARD travel, slowly move the LEFT lap bar from the REVERSE travel position to a FORWARD travel position equal t that of the RIGHT lap bar.

5.Alternatively, release both lap bars and the machine should stop turning, (this is a safety check, the normal procedure is for the operator to slowly bring the lap bars to the Neutral psoition).

3.Start the Engine:

a.Open the fuel shutoff valve.

b.Sit on the Seat. Set the parking brake “On”.

c.Move the left and right steering levers to the neutral position.
