QUICK REFERENCE CHART

The Z-series can turn with a zero radius. The Z-series uses the rear tires to turn. When turning with a zero radius,
the rear tires are used as the pivot point. A conventional tractor can make a circle but it needs a turning radius,
usually based on the distance between the front and rear wheels. With a shorter overall length and a zero turn
radius, the Z-series has excellent maneuverability.
The Z-series does not have a steering wheel, instead drive handles are used to steer and to move the unit. When
the drive handles are in the full positions (pull or push) the wheels turn at full speed based on the throttle setting.
Positions between neutral and full are proportional across the range based on the throttle setting. This is a
departure from what most of us are accustomed. Please take a few minutes to study the diagrams that follows.
