Executingan 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 LEFTand 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 mare yau practice, the better
your controlof the Zero Turnwili be!
