Practice Operation (Initial Use)
Ope rating a zero-turn tractor is not like operating a conventional
type riding tractor. Although and because a zero turn tractor is
more maneuverable, getting used to operating the speed control
pedals and the steering wheel takes some practice.
We strongly recommend that you locate a reasonably large,
level and open “practice area” where there are no obstructions,
pedestrians, or animals. You should practice operating the
tractor for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Carefully move (or have moved) the tractor to the practice area.
When performing the practice session, the PTO should not be
engaged. While practicing, operate the tractor at approximately
1⁄2-3⁄4 throttle and at less than full speed in both forward and
reverse.
Use protective equipment for eyes, hands, hearing, feet, legs,
head and other areas of the body if needed — safety eye glasses,
gloves, earplugs, boots, hats, etc.
WARNING!
Hearing Protection is required for all
operator exposure exceeding two (2) hours.
Carefully practice maneuvering the tractor using the instructions
in the following section “Driving the Tractor.” Practice until you
are confident that you can safely operate the tractor.
