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.

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 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.

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 Figure 8. Executing an End-Of-Row Turn be!
