Practice Turning In Place
14
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.
Advanced Driving
Executing an End-Of-Row Zero Turn
15
Your zero-turn riding mower’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 riding mower, 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!
Operating on Slopes
Learn how to operate the stand-on mower on slopes and
use your body position to improve traction and control of
the mower.
Operation on slopes can be dangerous. Slopes are a major
factor related to accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep where you
do not have adequate wheel traction (and control) can cause
sliding, loss of steering, control, and possible rollover. If you
feel unsure about operating the unit on a slope, don’t do it. It’s
not worth the risk.
Mow across slopes, NOT up and down:
• Lean your body slightly rearward and towards the uphill
side drive wheel, while keeping a firm grip on the control
levers. This body position adds more weight to the uphill
side drive wheel to maximize traction and control.
• Do NOT accelerate quickly, as this may cause the
mower’s front wheels to come off the ground.
Mow up and down slopes (only if you cannot mow across
the slope):
• It is recommended to mow up and down slopes only
when you cannot mow across slopes.
• Mow up the slope and lean your body forward (towards
the control panel), while keeping a firm grip on the control
levers. This body position helps keep the front wheels on
the ground.
• Mow down the slope and lean your body rearward with
your arms out-stretched, while keeping a firm grip on the
handlebar. This body position adds more weight to the
drive wheels and improves traction, downhill braking, and
control.
• Always be very gentle operating the controls, travel at a
slower speed than normal.
• Do NOT accelerate quickly or change speed or direction
suddenly while mowing, as this may cause the mower’s
front wheels to come off the ground (up slopes) and to
reduce the tendency to cause the mower to slip and slide
(down slopes).
Mowing
1. Engage the parking brake. Make sure that the PTO
switch is disengaged, the ground speed control levers are
in the NEUTRAL position, and the operator in standing of
the operator platform.
2. Start the engine. See
Starting the Engine
.
3. Set the cutting height.
4. Set the throttle to the 1/2 throttle position.
