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
17
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.

Executing an End-Of-Row Zero Turn
18
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!
Mowing
1. Engage the parking brake. Make sure that the PTO
switch is disengaged, the ground speed control levers are
locked in the NEUTRAL position and the operator is in the
seat.
2. Start the engine. See Starting the Engine .
3. Set the mower cutting height.
4. Set the throttle to the 1/2 throttle position.
Note: It is best practice to engage the PTO with the throttle
set at the minimum throttle position necessary to engage the
deck drive system without stalling the engine.
5. Engage the PTO by pulling up on the PTO switch.
6. Move the throttle to the "FAST" position and begin
mowing.
7. When finished, reduce throttle speed so that the engine
idles and push the PTO switch down to shut off the PTO.
8. Stop the engine. See Stopping the Rider .
