Advanced Driving
Executing an End-Of-Row Zero Turn
Your Zero Turn Rider's unique ability to turn in place allows
you to turn around at the end of a cutting row rather than
having to 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 RIGHT ground speed control lever forward
slightly while moving the LEFT ground speed control lever
back to center and then slightly back from center.
3. Begin mowing forward again.
This technique turns the rider LEFT and slightly overlaps
the row just cut —eliminating the need to back up and re-cut
missed grass.
As you become more familiar and experienced with operating
the Zero Turn rider, you will learn more maneuvers that will
make your mowing time easier and more enjoyable.
Remember, the more you practice, the better your control
of the Zero Turn will be!
Towed Equipment
Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A,
Figure 13) and clip (B). See Operator Safety for additional
safety information regarding trailers and towing.
WARNING
Towing Hazard
Towed loads can be hazardous and cause loss of control
on slopes.
• The max gross (trailer & load) weight of trailer is 200 lbs
(91kg).
• Do not operate on slope exceeding 5 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height adjust pedal adjusts the mower cutting
height. See Specifications for cutting height adjustment
range.
To adjust cutting height:
1. Fully depress the cutting height adjust pedal (A,
Figure 14) until the transport release rod (B) locks the
deck into the highest position (transport position).
2. Remove the pin (C, Figure 14) from the adjustment
bracket, and insert it in the desired hole.
Note: Make sure the pin is inserted into the holes in both
upper and lower plates of the adjustment bracket.
3. Depress the cutting height adjust pedal, move the
transport release rod outward, and slowly release the
pedal until it rests against the pin.
