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!
Attaching a Trailer
Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure
12) and clip (B). See Operator Safety for additional safety
information regarding trailers and towing.
WARNING
Towing Hazard
Towed loads can be hazardous and cause loss of control on
slopes.
• The max gross (trailer & load) weight of trailer is 200 lbs
(91kg).
• Do not operate on slope exceeding 5 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height adjust pedal adjusts the mower cutting height.
See Specifications for cutting height adjustment range.
To adjust cutting height:
1. Fully depress the cutting height adjust pedal (A, Figure 13)
until the transport release rod (B) locks the deck into the
highest position (transport position).
2. Remove the pin (C, Figure 13) from the adjustment bracket,
and insert it in the desired hole.
Note: Make sure the pin is inserted into the holes in both upper
and lower plates of the adjustment bracket.
3. Depress the cutting height adjust pedal, move the transport
release rod outward, and slowly release the pedal until it
rests against the pin.
