Driving

Driving the machine benefits from an understanding of
what zero turn radius mower means. The drive wheels
turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on
each axle; hence one side can turn in reverse while the
other turns forward causing the machine to spin rather
turn. This vastly improves the machine maneuverability
but may require some adjustment if the operator is
unfamiliar.
WARNING
The machine can spin very rapidly. The operator
may lose control of the machine and cause personal
injury or damage to the machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Placing the
throttle control in the Fast position can be best for
performance. For most applications, operating in the
full throttle position is desirable.
