forward, reverse, and turning movements will take some
practice.
Spending some time going through the maneuvers shown
and becoming familiar with how the unit accelerates, travels,
and steers — before you begin mowing —is absolutely
essential to getting the most out of the Zero Turn rider.
Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn — one with plenty
of room to maneuver. (Clear the area of objects, people and
animals before you begin.) Operate the unit at mid-throttle
during this practice session (ALWAYS operate at full throttle
when mowing), and turn slowly to prevent tire slippage and
damage to your lawn.
We suggest you begin with the Smooth Travel procedure to
the right, and then advance through the forward, reverse, and
turning maneuvers.
You must release the parking brake prior to moving the
control levers inward.
Smooth Travel
The lever controls of the Zero Turn rider are responsive.
The BEST method of handling the ground speed control
levers is in three steps — as shown in Figure 13.
13
FIRST place your hands onto the levers as shown.
SECOND , to go forward gradually push the levers forward
with your palms.
THIRD , to speed up move the levers farther forward. To slow
down smoothly, slowly move the levers toward neutral.
Basic Driving
Forward Travel Practice
14
Gradually move both ground speed control levers — evenly
FORWARD from neutral. Slow down and repeat.
NOTE: Straight forward travel takes practice. If necessary, top
speed can be balance-adjusted — see the Speed Balancing
Adjustment in the Adjustments section near the back of this
manual.
Reverse Travel Practice
15
LOOK DOWN & BEHIND, then gradually move both ground
speed control levers evenly BACK from neutral. Slow down
and repeat.
NOTE: Practice backing up for several minutes before
attempting to do so near objects. The rider turns sharply in
reverse as well as forward, and backing up straight takes
practice.
