IMPORTANT: Always maintain your grasp on the drive
control levers. Do not release the levers to slow the tractor or
to return to neutral.
Turning the Tractor While Driving Forward
WARNING!: When reversing the direction of
travel, we recommend performing gradual 'U'
turns where possible. Sharper turns increase
the possibility of turf defacement, and could
affect control of the tractor. ALWAYS slow the
tractor before making sharp turns.
To turn the tractor while driving forward, move the control
levers as necessary so that one lever is rearward of the
other. The tractor will turn in the direction of the rearward
control lever.
• To turn to the left, move the left drive control lever
rearward of the right lever. See Figure 5-4.
FORWARD LEFT TURN
• To turn to the right, move the right drive control lever
rearward of the left lever. See Figure 5-5.
FORWARD RIGHT TURN
• 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 forward.
IMPORTANT: Making a "pivot turn" on grass will greatly
increase the potential for defacement of the turf.

• As the control levers are pushed farther rearward the
speed of the tractor will increase.
• To slow the tractor move the controls lever forward
to attain the desired speed, or move the levers to the
neutral position to stop the tractor.
Turning While Driving Rearward
To turn the tractor while driving rearward, move the
