Operation
Practice Turning Around a Corner
While traveling forward allow one lever 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.

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 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.
