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!
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.
