Towed Equipment; Cutting Height Adjustment - Simplicity SZT350 Manual Del Operador

NOTE: Changing the amount each lever is pulled—forward or
back, changes the "pivot point" you turn on.
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!

transport release rod outward, and slowly release the
pedal until it rests against the pin.
