3.
Move the throttle control to the FAST
position.
NOTE:
Although the tractor's engine
is designed to run at full throttle, when
performing a practice session the
tractor must be operated at less than full
throttle. This only applies to practice.
WARNING! Always maintain a
firm grip on the control levers.
DO NOT release the control
levers to slow or stop the tractor;
move levers to neutral position
using your hands.
4.
To drive the tractor, firmly grasp the
respective drive control levers with your
right and left hands and continue with
Driving the Tractor Forward.
Driving the Tractor Forward
WARNING! Keep all movement
of the drive control levers slow

of the control levers can affect
the stability of the tractor and
could cause the tractor to flip
over, which may result in serious
injury or death to the operator.

Slowly and evenly move both drive
control levers forward. The tractor will
start to move forward. See Figure 3-2.

As the control levers are pushed farther
forward the speed of the tractor will
increase.
3.
To slow the tractor move the controls
lever rearward to attain the desired
speed, or move the levers to the neutral
position to stop the tractor.
WARNING! Always maintain
your grasp on the drive control
levers. Do not release the levers
to slow the tractor or to return to
neutral.
Turning the Tractor While Driving Forward
WARNING! When reversing the
direction of travel, we
recommend performing gradual
'U' turns where possible. Sharper
turns increase the possibility of
turf defacement, and could affect
control of the tractor. ALWAYS
slow the tractor before making
sharp turns.
To turn the tractor while driving forward, move
the control levers as necessary so that one lever
is rearward of the other. The tractor will turn in
the direction of the rearward control lever.
1.
To turn to the left, move the left drive
control lever rearward of the right lever.
See Figure 3-3.

2.
To turn to the right, move the right drive
control lever rearward of the left lever.
See Figure 3-4.

3.
The greater the fore-to-aft distance
between the two levers, the sharper the
tractor will turn.
4.
To execute a "pivot turn," move the turn
side drive control lever to the neutral
position, while moving the other control
lever forward.
NOTE:
Making a "pivot turn" on grass
will greatly increase the potential for
defacement of the turf.
