Executingan End-Of-RowZeroTurn
Your Zero Turn Rider's unique ability to turn in
placeallows you to turn around at the end of a
cutting row rather than havingto 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 RIGHTground speedcontrol lever
forward slightly while moving the LEFT
ground speed control lever back to center and
then slightly backfrom center.
3. Begin mowing forward again.
This technique turns the rider LEFTand slightly
overlaps the row just cut --eliminating the need
to back up and re-cut missed grass.
Asyou become more familiar and experienced
with operating the Zero Turn rider,you will learn
more maneuversthat will makeyour mowing
time easier and more enjoyable.
Remember,the moreyou practice, the better
yourcontrolof theZeroTurnwill be!
