PRACTICE OPERATION (INITIAL USE)
Operating a zero-turn riding mower is not like operating a conventional
type riding mower. Because a zero turn riding mower is more maneuver-
able, 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 riding mower for a minimum
of 30 minutes.
Carefully move — or have an experienced user move — the riding
mower to the practice area. When performing the practice session,
the PTO should not be engaged. While practicing, operate the riding
mower at approximately 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 throttle and at less than full speed in
both forward and reverse.
Use protective equipment for eyes, hands, hearing, feet, legs, head
and other areas of the body if needed — safety eye glasses, gloves,
earplugs, boots, hats, etc.
WARNING
Hearing Protection is required for all operator exposure exceeding
two (2) hours.
Carefully practice maneuvering the riding mower using the instructions
in the following section "Driving the Riding mower." Practice until you
are confident that you can safely operate the riding mower.
