Steering Control Levers
Steering Control Levers control the direction and speed
of the Zero Turn Mower in both forward and reverse
travel. Turning is controlled by pushing one lever forward
and pulling the opposite lever backward or to the neutral
position.
Moving the levers forward equally will cause the Zero
Turn Mower to travel forward in a straight line. Moving
the levers backward equally causes the Zero Turn
Mower to travel in reverse.
The further the levers are
moved forward or backward increases the speed of
travel in that direction.
THE ZERO TURN MOWER WILL
T U R N V E RY R A P I D LY I F O N E
STEERING LEVER IS MOVED MUCH FURTHER
FORWARD THAN THE OTHER.
Moving the right hand lever forward and the left hand
lever to the neutral position turns the Zero Turn Mower
left. Moving the left hand lever forward and the right hand
lever to the neutral position turns the Zero Turn Mower
to the right.
Moving the right hand lever forward and the left hand
lever backward the Zero Turn Mower will achieve a zero
turn to the left. Moving the left hand lever forward and
the right hand lever backward achieves a zero turn to the
right.
These maneuvers should be done with extra
care at a slow speed when turning.

WARNING
Speed Tracking Adjusting
The Speed Tracking Adjustment Screws, located on the
panels under the seat arm rest on each side, allow the
operator to adjust the forward speed of each Steering
Control Lever so the Zero Turn travels in a straigt line
when both Steering Levers are pushed all the way for-
ward.
To adjust the forward speed, turn the knobs counter
clockwise to increase the forward speed and colckwise
to decrease the forward speed.
Test drive the mower to determine if speed tracking ad-
justments are required. Push the steering control levers
all the way forward, if the mower steers to the right or left
adjustments are needed.
● If mower steers to the right, adjust the tracking adjust-
ment on the left side of the mower to decrease the
speed of the left drive axle speed.
● If mower steers to the left, adjust the tracking adjust-
ment on the right side of the mower to decrease the
speed of the right drive axle speed.
NOTE: After tracking speed adjustments are com-
pleted the steering handles may need to be adjusted
to the operators preferred position for comfort and
best operation of the mower.
