Steering the Tractor
Your i1000seriestractor is equippedwith an innovative
steeringdesignwhich is somewhat d ifferentfrom that of
the traditionalsteeringwheeltype lawntractor.Turning
the steeringwheelnotonly turnsthe front wheels,but
also controlsthe drivelinkageof the two hydrotransmis-
sions that drivethe tractor.Thisfeatureallowsyou to
vary the radiusof turns froma normalwideturn downto
a zeroturn. Somepracticemaybe requiredto become
accustomedto the steeringof yourtractor.Thesteering
worksas follows:
° The steeringwheelturns approximately two turns stop
to stop.With the center positionbeingthe straight
ahead position.
° Minorturns of the steeringwheelfrom the center
position(up to approx.100 ) will turnonly thefront
axles and resultin widerturns.
° Increasingtheturn of the steeringwheel (beyond10°)
resultsin increasinglytighterturns.As the steering
mechanismturnsthe front wheels,it alsochanges
the positionof the transmissiondrivelinkageto slow
downthe inner rearwheel in the turnand adjust the
speedof the outerwheelas necessaryto complete
the desiredturn. Turnthe steeringwheelback to the
center positionas the turn is completed.
NOTE: It is not necessarytoreleasethedrivepedal
whenmakinga turn. Thechangeto the transmission
linkageoccursregardlessof howfar the drivepedal is
depressed.Whenthesteeringwheelis straightened,the
tractorwillreturnto thespeedset by thedrivepedal.
° Turningthe steeringwheelfully to its stop in either
directionwill fully turnthe front wheels,reversethe
directionof the innerwheeland adjust theouter wheel
speedto executea zeroturn in the chosendirection.
Turnthe steeringwheelback to the centerpositionas
the turn is completed.
NOTE: As the steeringwheelis turnedfurther toward
its stop, theeffortneededto tum thesteeringwheel
increases.
IMPORTANT:Makingtight or zeroturnson grasswill
greatly increasethe potentialfor defacement o f the turf.
Driving On Slopes
IMPORTANT: R efer to theSLOPE GAUGE onpage3 tohelp
determine slopes whereyoumayoperate thetractor s afely.
Mowup and down slopes,neveracross.
• Watchfor holes,ruts, bumps,rocks,or otherhidden
objects. Uneventerraincouldoverturnthe machine.
Tallgrass can hideobstacles.
• Avoidturns whendrivingon a slope.If a turnmust
be made,turndownhillon the slope.Turninguphill
increasesthe possibilityof a tractorrollover.
• Avoidstoppingwhendriving up a slope.If it is neces-
sary to stopwhiledriving up a slope,start up smoothly
and carefullyto reducethe possibilityof flippingthe
tractoroverbackward.
