Practice
Operation
(Initial
Use)
Operating
a zero-turn
tractor is not like operating
a
conventional
type riding tractor. Although
and be-cause
a zero turn tractor is more maneuverable,
getting
used to
operating
the control levers takes some practice.
We strongly
recommend
that you locate a reasonably
large, level and open "practice area" where there are no
obstructions,
pedestrians,
or animals. You should practice
operating
the tractor for a minimum
of 30 minutes.
Carefully move (or have moved) the tractor to the practice
area. When performing
the practice session, the PTO
should not be engaged.
While practicing,
operate the
tractor at approximately
1/2-3/4 throttle
and at less than
full speed in both forward and reverse.
Carefully practice maneuvering
the tractor using the
instructions
in the following
section "Driving the Tractor."
Practice until you are confident
that you can safely operate
the tractor.

Avoid sudden starts, excessive
speed and sudden stops.

seat to the most comfortable
position
that allows you to operate
the controls.
See
seat adjustment
in the ADJUSTMENTS section.
•
Release the parking brake.
•
Move the RH and LH drive control levers inward in the

•
Move the throttle
control
lever forward to the full
throttle
position
(3500-3600 RPM). 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 (approximately
2500-3000 RPM).
This only applies to practice.
WARNINGh
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.
•
To drive the tractor, firmly grasp the respective drive
control
levers with your right and left hands and
proceed as follows :
Driving the Tractor Forward
_
ARNINGh Keep all movement
of the drive
control
levers slow and smooth. Abrupt
movement
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 5-3.
