Executingan End-Of-RowZero Turn
Your ZeroTurnRider's unique ability to turn in
placeallows you to turn around atthe end of a
cutting row ratherthan havingto stop and Y-turn
beforestarting a new row.
Forexample,to executea left end-of row zero
turn:
1. Slow downat the end of the row.
2. Movethe RIGHTground speedcontrol lever
forward slightly while moving the LEFT
ground speedcontrol lever backto center and
then slightly back from center.
3. Begin mowing forward again.
This techniqueturns the rider LEFTand slightly
overlapsthe rowjust cut --eliminating the need
to back up and re-cut missedgrass.
Asyou becomemore familiar and experienced
with operatingthe Zero Turnrider,you will learn
more maneuversthat will makeyour mowing time
easierand more enjoyable.
Remember,themore youpractice,the better
yourcontrolof theZeroTurnwill be!
