Operation
Practice Turning Around a Corner | Practice Turning In Place |
While traveling forward allow one handle 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.
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.

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 right
1. Slow down at the end of the row.
2.Move the LEFT ground speed control lever forward slightly while moving the RIGHT ground speed control lever back to
center and then slightly back from center.
3. Begin mowing forward again. |

This technique turns the rider RIGHT and |

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 rider will be! | Figure 8. Executing an |
