To turn right, move the left steering control lever farther
forward from neutral than the right steering control lever.
Figure 3-10
Zero radius turn, mo
ve one steering control lever forward
and the other steering control lever back of neutral. This
allows the drive wheels to counter-rotate. Figure 3-10
To stop or decrease speed, mo
ve steering control levers to
neutral. When going forward pull back gently on steering
control levers. When going in reverse push forward gently on
steering control levers.
For emergency stops, when tra
veling forward or rearward,
place the steering control levers in the park brake position
immediately.
To make a three point turn to the right:
1. Mo
ve the left steering control lever farther forward
from neutral than the right steering control lever and
start the turn. Figure 3-11
2. Next, pull back on the steering control levers until they
pass neutral and the machine starts to go rearward.
Figure 3-11
3. Pull the right steering control lever farther rearward
from neutral than the left steering control lever until
the rear of the machine pivots around. Figure 3-11
4. Then, push the steering control levers forward until
they both pass neutral and the machine starts to go
forward. Figure 3-11
5. Push the left steering control lever farther forward
from neutral than the right steering control lever and
finish the turn. Figure 3-11
IMPORTANT: Damage to the hydraulic system
components may occur with rapid movement of the steering
controls.
To increase speed, incr
ease the steering control lever’s
distance from neutral. The farther forward the steering
control levers are from neutral, the faster the mower will
travel forward. The farther back the steering control levers
are from neutral, the faster the mower will go in reverse.

When moving in the rearward direction push
forward gently on steering control levers and avoid
sudden movement. Any sudden movement could
cause the front of the mower to come off of the
ground resulting in possible loss of control,
causing serious injury or death.
Always be aware of what is behind the machine
before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary. Always look down and
behind before and while backing up.
