Executing a Zero Turn
1. Stop the forward or reverse motion of the mower by moving the two drive control
levers to neutral.
2. To turn clockwise, move the left drive control lever forward while simultaneously
moving the right drive control lever rearward (Figure 15).
Clockwise Zero Turn
Counterclockwise Zero Turn
3. To turn counterclockwise, move the right drive control lever forward while
simultaneously moving the left drive control lever rearward (Figure 15).
Executing a "Y" Maneuver
For low traction conditions, follow these procedures for zero turns (the
"Y" maneuver):
To turn clockwise (front of machine moves toward RIGHT) when traveling FORWARD
(Figure 16):
1. Come to a stop.
2. Slowly move both drive control
levers rearward (no more than
1/2 maximum reverse speed) to
initiate REVERSE travel.
3. Slowly move the LEFT drive
control lever forward while
maintaining the RIGHT drive
control lever in the rearward
travel position.
4. To stop the turn and re-initiate
FORWARD travel, slowly move
the RIGHT drive control lever
from the REVERSE travel position
to a FORWARD travel position
equal to that of the LEFT drive
control lever.
5. For counterclockwise turns,
reverse the above procedure.

OPERATION
Stopping the Mower
1. Move both drive control levers to the neutral position to stop the motion of
the mower.
2. Push the PTO downward to the OFF position.
3. Use the deck lift knob/handle to raise the deck to its highest position.
4. If dismounting the mower, ensure the drive control levers are in the neutral
position, engage the parking brake, move the throttle to the SLOW position.
Allow the engine to run for one minute then turn the key to STOP
from the ignition module.
Do not leave the operator's platform of the mower without disengaging the
PTO and engaging the Parking Brake. If leaving the mower unattended, turn
the ignition key to the STOP position and remove key.
Driving on Slopes
Refer to the Slope Gauge to help determine slopes where you may operate safely.
Do not operate on inclines with a slope in excess of 15° (26%). The machine
could overturn and cause serious injury.
1. Always drive across slopes, never up and down. Control the speed and direction
of the mower using primarily the control lever on the downhill side of the 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.
Engaging the PTO
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck. To engage the PTO:
1. Move the throttle to the FAST
2. Pull the PTO switch up/out into the ENGAGED (ON) position.
NOTE: When operating the mower be certain that the throttle is always in the
FAST position. Operating with the throttle at less than full throttle may lead
to premature battery wear and a poor quality cut.
3. To disengage the PTO, push the PTO switch down/into the DISENGAGED
(OFF) position.
Mowing
To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders,
helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet (23 meters) from the machine
while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Make certain the area to be mowed is free of debris, sticks, stones, wire or
other objects that can be thrown by the rotating blades.
NOTE: Do not engage the mower deck when lowered in grass. Premature wear and
possible failure of the "V" belt and PTO clutch will result. Fully raise the deck or move
to a non-grassy area before engaging the mower deck.
• Mow across slopes, not up and down. If mowing a slope, start at bottom and work
upward to ensure turns are made uphill.
