OPERATION

Read the Safety section and following pages if

you are unfamiliar with the machine.

Training

Due to unique steering capabilities, zero turn

mowers are far more maneuverable than typical

riding mowers.

Review this section fully prior to trying to move the

mower under its own power. When rst operating

the mower or until becoming comfortable with

controls, use a reduced throttle speed and

reduced ground speed. DO NOT move control

levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions

during initial operation.

First time users must become familiar with the

mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as

concrete or blacktop PRIOR to trying to operate

on turf. Until the operator becomes comfortable

with the mower controls and zero turning

capability, overly aggressive maneuvers may

damage turf.

Steering

To move forward and backward

The direction and speed of the mower’s

movements are effected by the movement of the

control lever(s) on each side of mower. The left

control lever controls the left wheel. The right

control lever controls the right wheel.

First time users must push the mower (see

Moving Machine By Hand in the Operation

section) to an open, at area without other

persons, vehicles or obstacles nearby. To move

the unit under its own power, the operator must

sit in the seat and start the engine (see Before

Starting in the Operation section). Adjust the

engine speed to idle, disengage the park brake

but do not engage the blades at this time. Pull

control levers inward. As long as the control levers

have not been moved forward or backwards, the

mower will not move.

Slowly move both control levers forward slightly.

This will let the mower start moving forward in a

straight line. Pull the control levers back to the

neutral position and stop the mower from moving.

Pull back slightly on control levers, allowing the

mower to move backwards. Push the control

levers forward to the neutral position to stop the

mower from moving.

To turn to the right

While moving in a forward direction, pull the right

lever back towards the neutral position while

maintaining the position of the left lever, this will

slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the

machine to turn in that direction.

To turn to the left

While moving in a forward direction pull the left

lever back towards the neutral position while

maintaining the position of the right lever, this will

slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the

machine to turn in that direction.

To zero turn

While moving in a forward direction, rst pull both

control levers back until the mower stops or slows

dramatically.

Then by alternating one lever slightly to the

forward position and the other in the reverse

position, complete the turn.

Before Starting

WARNING! Make sure the work area is

free from of stones and other objects that could

be thrown by the rotating blades.

1. Read the sections on Safety and Controls

before starting the machine.

2. Do the daily maintenance before starting (see

Maintenance Schedule in the Maintenance

section).

3. Check that there is sufcient fuel in the fuel

tank.

4. Adjust the seat to the desired position.

WARNING! The engine exhaust contains

carbon monoxide, which is a odorless,

colorless, poisonous gas. Do not use the

machine in enclosed spaces.

Starting the Engine

1. Sit on the seat.

2. Raise the mower deck to the highest position.

3. Disengage the mower blades by pressing the

blade switch downwards.

4. Move the steering / park brake controls rmly

out to the locked position.

5. Move the throttle lever to the middle throttle

position. If the engine is cold, the choke

control should be pulled up.
