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!

Practice Turning Around a Corner

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.

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.
