IMPORTANT: If the operator is inexperienced with the Joystick zero turning radius steering/speed control,
he/she should follow these recommendations: Disengage the mower blades. Go very slowly
until thoroughly familiar with the machine. Keep away from fences, buildings, and other
obstructions. While becoming familiar with the machine, move the Joystick Control Lever
smoothly and slowly. Practice until operation is smooth and efficient.

forward to move forward. Increasing forward movement of the Joystick will increase the speed of

direction you want to turn. To turn on a zero radius axis, go slowly and move the Joystick to the side
you wish to turn and slightly to the rearward at the same time.
