Zero Turn Driving Practice

Before attempting to drive the zero-turn riding mower make sure

you have read the Features and Controls section and

understand the location and function of all of the unit's controls.

The ground speed control levers of this zero-turn riding mower

are responsive, and learning to gain a smooth and efficient

control of the unit's forward, reverse, and turning movements

will take some practice.

Spending some time going through the maneuvers shown and

becoming familiar with how the unit accelerates, travels, and

steers, before you begin mowing, is absolutely essential to

getting the most out of the zero-turn riding mower.

Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn, one with plenty of room

to maneuver. Clear the area of objects, people, and animals

before you begin. Operate the unit at mid-throttle during this

practice session (ALWAYS operate at full throttle when mowing),

and turn slowly to prevent tire slippage and damage to your

lawn.

We suggest you begin with the Smooth Travel procedure, and

then advance through the forward, reverse, and turning

maneuvers.

Smooth Travel

The lever controls of the Zero Turn rider are responsive.

The BEST method of handling the ground speed control levers

is in three steps — as shown in Figure 6.

FIRST place your hands onto the levers as shown.

SECOND, to go forward gradually push the levers forward with

your palms.

THIRD, to speed up move the levers farther forward. To slow

down smoothly, slowly move the levers toward neutral.

Basic Driving

Forward Travel Practice

Gradually move both ground speed control levers — evenly

FORWARD from neutral. Slow down and repeat.

NOTE: Straight forward travel takes practice. If necessary, top

speed can be balance-adjusted — see the Speed Balancing

Adjustment in the Adjustments section near the back of this

manual.

Reverse Travel Practice

LOOK DOWN & BEHIND, then gradually move both ground

speed control levers evenly BACK from neutral. Slow down and

repeat.

NOTE: Practice backing up for several minutes before

attempting to do so near objects. The rider turns sharply in

reverse as well as forward, and backing up straight takes

practice.

Practice Turning Around A Corner

While traveling forward allow one handle to gradually return

back toward neutral. Repeat several times.

NOTE: To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best

to keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.

Practice Turning in Place

To turn in place, "Zero Turn," gradually move one ground speed

control lever forward from neutral and one lever back from

neutral simultaneously. Repeat several times.

NOTE: Changing the amount each lever is pulled—forward or

back, changes the "pivot point" you turn on.

Advanced Driving

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 left end-of row zero turn:

1. Slow down at the end of the row.

2. Move the RIGHT ground speed control lever forward slightly

while moving the LEFT ground speed control lever back to

center and then slightly back from center.

3. Begin mowing forward again.

This technique turns the rider LEFT and slightly overlaps the

row just cut —eliminating the need to back up and re-cut missed

grass.

As you become more familiar and experienced 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 Zero Turn will be!
