COUNTERCLOCKWISE
ZEROTURN
Figure 5-8
The greater the fore-to-aft
distance between
the two
levers, the sharper the tractor will turn.
To execute a "pivot turn," move the turn side drive
control
lever to the neutral position, while moving the
other control lever rearward.
IM PORTANT: Making a "pivot turn" on grass will greatly
increase the potential
for defacement of the turf.
Executing
a Zero Turn
WARNINGh
When executing
a zero turn,
the tractor MUST BE STOPPED. Executing
a zero turn while the tractor is moving can
significantly
reduce your control of the tractor
and will cause severe turf defacement
to occur.
Stop the forward or reverse motion of the tractor by
moving the two drive control levers to neutral.
To turn clockwise,
move the left control
lever forward
while simultaneously
moving the right control lever
rearward. See Figure 5-9.

Stopping
the Tractor
•
Move both drive control levers to the neutral position
to stop the motion of the tractor.
•
Push the PTO switch downward
to the disengaged
position.
•
Use the deck lift handle to raise the deck to its highest
position.
•
If dismounting
the tractor, move the drive control
handles fully outward in the neutral
position, engage
the parking brake, move the throttle
control lever to
the fast position, turn the ignition switch to "OFF'" and
remove the key from the switch.
WARNING: Do not leave the seat of the tractor
_
ithout disengaging
the PTO, moving drive
control levers fully outward in the neutral
position, and engaging
the parking brake.
If leaving the tractor unattended, turn the
ignition key off and remove key.
Driving
On Slopes
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 7 to help determine
slopes where you may not operate safely.
WARNINGh
Do not operate on inclines with a slope in
excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approximately
2-1/2 feet
every 10 feet). The tractor could overturn
and cause serious
injury.
•
Always drive across slopes, never up and down. Control
the speed and direction
of the tractor using primarily
the control
lever on the downhill
side of the tractor,
with the uphill control lever remaining
essentially
in a
fixed position.
•
Avoid turning
downhill
if possible. Start at the bottom
of a slope and work upward. Always slow down before
turning.
•
Use extra care and go slowly when turning
downhill.
