Operation
Read “Safety Instructions” section and following pages, if you are unfamiliar with the machine.
Training
Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steering capabilities.
We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety prior to attempting to move the mower under its own
power. Additionally, we suggest when fi rst operating the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced ground
speed by NOT moving control levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions during initial operation, or until
operator becomes comfortable with controls. We also suggest fi rst time users, or new users to Zero Turn mowers
to become familiar with the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as concrete or blacktop PRIOR to
attempting to operate on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with mower controls and zero turning capability,
they may damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers.
To move forward and backward
The direction and speed of the mower’s movements is effected by the movement of the control lever(s) on each
side of mower. The left control lever controls the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right wheel.
First time users should push mower (see “Moving by Hand” in the “Operation” section) to an open, fl at area,
without other people or vehicles/obstacles nearby. In order to move unit under its own power, the operator must
be in the seat, start engine (see “Before Starting” in “Operation” section), adjust engine speed to idle, disengage
parking brake, do not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as the control levers
have not been moved forward or backwards, mower will not move. Slowly move both control levers forward
slightly. This will allow mower to start moving forward in a straight line. Pull back on control levers to the neutral
position and mower should stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this will allow mower to start moving
backwards. Push forward on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving.
To turn to the right
While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining
the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To turn to the left
While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the
position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To zero turn
While moving in a forward direction, fi rst pull both control levers back until the mower stops or slows dramatically.
Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward position and the other in the reverse position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When control levers are in the reverse
position they return to neutral when
released. This may cause the mower to
suddenly stop.
