Executing a Zero Turn
WARNING
When executing a zero turn, the riding mower MUST BE STOPPED.
Executing a zero turn while the riding mower is moving can signifi-
cantly reduce your control of the riding mower and will cause severe
turf defacement to occur.
1.
Stop the forward or reverse motion of the riding mower by moving
the two drive control levers to neutral.
2.
To turn clockwise, move the left control lever forward while
simultaneously moving the right control lever rearward. See
Figure 21.
Clockwise Zero Turn
3.
To turn counterclockwise, move the right control lever forward
while simultaneously moving the left control lever rearward. See
Figure 22.

Executing a "Y" Manuever
For low traction conditions, follow these procedures for zero turns (the
"Y-manuever"):
To turn clockwise (front of machine moves toward RIGHT) when
traveling FORWARD:
1.
Come to a stop,
2.
Then slowly move both control levers rearward (no more than ½
maximum reverse speed) to initiate REVERSE travel,
3.
Then slowly move the LEFT control lever forward while maintain-
ing the RIGHT control lever in the rearward travel position.
4.
To stop the turn and reinitiate FORWARD travel, slowly move
the RIGHT control lever from the REVERSE travel position to a
FORWARD travel position equal to that of the LEFT control lever.
5.
For counterclockwise turns, reverse the above procedure.
STOPPING THE RIDING MOWER
1.
Move both drive control levers to the neutral position to stop the
motion of the riding mower.
2.
Push the PTO switch downward to the DISENGAGED position.
3.
Use the deck lift pedal to raise the deck to its highest position.
4.
If dismounting the riding mower, move the drive control levers
fully outward in the neutral position, engage the parking brake,
move the throttle control lever to the FAST
ignition switch to STOP
Do not leave the seat of the riding mower without disengaging the
PTO, moving drive control levers fully outward in the neutral position,
and engaging the parking brake. If leaving the riding mower unat-
tended, turn the ignition key off and remove key.
DRIVING ON SLOPES
Refer to the slope gauge in the Safe Operation Section to help
determine slopes where you may not operate safely.
Do not operate on inclines with a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a
rise of approximately 2-1⁄2 feet every 10 feet). The riding mower
could overturn and cause serious injury.
1.
Always drive across slopes, never up and down. Control the
speed and direction of the riding mower using primarily the control
lever on the downhill side of the riding mower, with the uphill
control lever remaining essentially in a fixed position.
2.
Avoid turning downhill if possible. Start at the bottom of a slope
and work upward. Always slow down before turning.
3.
Use extra care and go slowly when turning downhill.
