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

 

be!
