have it repaired by an authorized servicing dealer
as soon as possible.

Using the Mower Deck (SurePath Auto
Steer Mode)
WARNING
To avoid personal injury to you or others, always
use caution and be aware of your surroundings
when using the SurePath Auto Steer Mode. Stop the
machine immediately if anyone enters the area.
NOTE: Operator is always in control of
the mower's speed and braking.
1. Use the deck lift pedal (a) to raise
the deck to its highest position,
place the clevis pin (b) attached to
the mower into the desired index
hole on the deck height index, then
slowly release the deck lift pedal (a).
Refer to Figure 3-6 on page 19.
2. Mow across slopes, not up and
down. If mowing a slope, start at
bottom and work upward to ensure
turns are made uphill.
3. To establish your mowing line
refer to Setting the Mowing Line
(SurePath Auto Steer Mode) section.
IMPORTANT! Setting the mowing line
automatically shifts mower to SurePath
Auto Steer Mode.
4. Engage the PTO knob and move
the throttle control to the FAST
position.
5. To move forward, slowly push the
forward drive pedal forward. The
SurePath Auto Steer system will
keep the mower aligned with the
preset mowing line.
NOTE: The speed of the mower
will affect cut quality of the lawn.
Mowing at full speed will adversely
affect a high quality cut lawn.
Control the ground speed with the
drive pedals.
6. When approaching the other end
of the strip, release pressure on the
forward drive pedal slightly to slow
down before initiating a right or
left zero turn. Briefly press the right
or left turn button on the Operator
Control Panel. See Figure 3-10.

Turn

WARNING
Do not attempt to make a turn at high speed when
using SurePath Auto Steer Mode. The system
will make smoother and more accurate turns at
lower speeds.
NOTE: Left and right turn buttons will
only function if SurePath Auto Steer
Mode has been activated.
NOTE: The SurePath Auto Steer system
will make smoother and more accurate
turns at lower speeds, and allow it
to more easily pick up and maintain
the signal for the next parallel line to
be followed.
7. Make sure mower is realigned with
mowing line before accelerating.
8. Repeat Steps 5-7 to continue
cutting parallel lines in SurePath
Auto Steer Mode.
IMPORTANT! To prevent rutting or
grooving of the turf, if possible, change
the direction that the strips are mowed
by approximately 45° for the next and
each subsequent mowing session.
Be careful when crossing gravel paths or driveways.
Disengage the PTO knob and raise the deck to the
highest/transport position before crossing.
NOTE: When stopping the mower
for any reason while on a grass
surface, always:
a. Make sure the drive pedals
are in neutral.
b. Engage the parking brake.
c. Shut engine off and remove
the key.
d. Doing so will minimize the
possibility of having your
lawn ''browned'' by hot
exhaust from your mower's
running engine.
9. Release pressure on forward drive
pedal slightly before initiating right
or left zero turn.
10. Make sure mower is realigned with
mowing line before accelerating.
Disabling the SurePath Auto Steer System

system malfunctions, the SurePath
Auto Steer system can be disabled by
removing the GPM fuse (labeled F5:GPM
Right

opposite directions. This setting can be
adjusted by contacting an authorized
service center.
