Driving the Machine
Driving the machine benefits from an understanding of
what zero-turn-radius mower means. The drive wheels turn
independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle;
hence a side can turn in reverse while the other turns forward,
causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This vastly
improves the machine maneuverability but may require some
adjustment if you are unfamiliar.
WARNING
The machine can spin rapidly. You may lose control
of the machine and cause personal injury or damage
to the machine.
• For new operators, drive to an open area and
practice driving the machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured
in rpm (revolutions per minute). Placing the throttle control
in the F
AST
position can be best for performance. For most
applications, operate the machine in the full-throttle position.

Driving Forward
Note:
Always use caution when backing up and turning.
1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position.
2. To go forward, slowly push the motion-control levers
forward (
Figure 15 ).

To go straight, apply equal pressure to both
motion-control levers (
Figure 15 ).
To turn, release pressure on the motion-control lever
toward the direction you want to turn (
Figure 15 ).
The farther you move the motion-control levers in
either direction, the faster the machine moves in that
direction.
To stop, pull the motion-control levers to the N
EUTRAL
position.
