OPERATION
Driving the Mower In Reverse
WARNING
Always look behind and down on both sides of the mower before backing up. Always look
behind while traveling in the reverse direction. Mowing in reverse is not recommended.
1. Slowly and evenly move both drive control levers rearward. The mower will start to move in the
reverse direction (Figure 13).
2. As the drive control levers are pushed
farther rearward the speed of the mower
will increase.
3. To slow the mower move the drive control
levers forward to attain the desired
speed, or move the drive control levers to
the neutral position to stop the mower.
Turning While Driving Rearward
To turn the mower while driving rearward,
move the drive control levers as necessary so that one drive control lever is forward of the other. The
mower will turn in the direction of the forward drive control lever.
1. To turn to the left while traveling in
reverse, move the left drive control lever
forward of the right drive control lever
(Figure 14).
2. To turn to the right while traveling in
reverse, move the right drive control lever
forward of the left drive control lever
(Figure 14).
NOTE: The greater the distance between
the two drive control levers, the sharper
the mower will turn.
3. To execute a “pivot turn,” move the turn
side drive control lever to the neutral
position, while moving the other drive
control lever rearward.
NOTE: Making a “pivot turn” on grass
will greatly increase the potential for
defacement of the turf.
Executing a Zero Turn
1. Stop the forward or reverse motion of the
mower by moving the two drive control
levers to neutral.
2. To turn clockwise, move the left
drive control lever forward while
simultaneously moving the right drive
control lever rearward (Figure 15).
3. To turn counterclockwise, move the
right drive control lever forward while
simultaneously moving the left drive
control lever rearward (Figure 15).

4. Executing a “Y” Maneuver
for low traction conditions, follow these
procedures for zero turns (the “Y” maneuver):
To turn clockwise (front of machine moves
toward RIGHT) when traveling FORWARD
(Figure 16):
1. Come to a stop.
2. Slowly move both drive control lever
rearward (no more than ½ maximum
reverse speed) to initiate REVERSE travel.
3. Slowly move the LEFT drive control lever
forward while maintaining the RIGHT
drive control lever in the rearward travel
position.
4. To stop the turn and re-initiate FORWARD
travel, slowly move the RIGHT drive
control lever from the REVERSE travel
position to a FORWARD travel position
equal to that of the LEFT drive control
lever.
5. For counter-clockwise turns, reverse the
above procedure.
