Operation
Practice Turning Around a Corner
While traveling forward allow one lever to gradually return
back toward neutral. Repeat several times.
To prevent pivoting directly on thetire 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 right end-of row
zero turn:
1. Slow down at the end of the row.
2. Move the LEFT ground speed lever
forward slightly while moving the
RIGHT ground speed lever back to center
and then slightly back from center.
3. Begin mowing forward again.
This technique turns the rider RIGHT and
slightly overlaps the row just cut — eliminating
the need to back up and re-cut missed grass.
As you become more familiar and experi-
enced 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 rider will be!

Practice Turning In Place
To turn in place, "zero turn," gradually move one ground
speed lever forward from neutral and one lever back from
neutral simultaneously. Repeat several times.
Changing the amount each lever is pulled — forward or
back, changes the "pivot point" you turn on.
