Turning While Driving Rearward
To turn the tractor while driving rearward, move the control
levers as necessary so that one lever is forward of the other. The
tractor will turn in the direction of the forward control lever.
1. To turn to the left while traveling in reverse, move the left
drive control lever forward of the right lever. See Figure 5-6.
Figure 5-6
2. To turn to the right while traveling in reverse, move the right
drive control lever forward of the left lever. See Figure 5-7.
Figure 5-7
3. The greater the fore-to-aft distance between the two
levers, the sharper the tractor will turn.
4. To execute a “pivot turn,” move the turn side drive control
lever to the neutral position, while moving the other
control lever rearward.
NOTE: Making a “pivot turn” on grass will greatly increase
the potential for defacement of the turf.
Executing a Zero Turn
WARNING! When executing a zero turn, the
tractor MUST BE STOPPED. Executing a zero turn
while the tractor is moving can significantly reduce
your control of the tractor and will cause severe turf
defacement to occur.
1. Stop the forward or reverse motion of the tractor by
moving the two drive control levers to neutral.
2. To turn clockwise, move the left control lever forward while
simultaneously moving the right control lever rearward.
See Figure 5-8.
Figure 5-8
3. To turn counterclockwise, move the right control lever
forward while simultaneously moving the left control lever
rearward. See Figure 5-9.
