Practice Operation (Initial Use)
Operating a zero-turn tractor is not like operating a conventional
type riding tractor. Although and because a zero turn tractor is
more maneuverable, getting used to operating the control levers
takes some practice.
We strongly recommend that you locate a reasonably large,
level and open "practice area" where there are no obstructions,
pedestrians, or animals. You should practice operating the
tractor for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Carefully move (or have moved) the tractor to the practice area.
When performing the practice session, the PTO should not be
engaged. While practicing, operate the tractor at approximately
1⁄2-3⁄4 throttle and at less than full speed in both forward and
reverse.
Carefully practice maneuvering the tractor using the instructions
in the following section "Driving the Tractor." Practice until you
are confident that you can safely operate the tractor.
Driving the Tractor
WARNING!
Avoid sudden starts, excessive speed
and sudden stops.
1.
Adjust the operator's seat to the most comfortable
position that allows you to operate the controls. See seat
adjustment in the Adjustments section.
2.
Release the parking brake.
3.
Move the RH and LH drive control levers inward in the
neutral position. Refer to Figure 5-2.
Control Lever Moved
Inward and in Neutral
Figure 5-2
NOTE: If the control levers are not even in the neutral position,
refer to Maintenance & Adjustments for instructions to adjust the
levers so that they are even.
4.
Move the throttle/choke control lever forward to the full
throttle position (3300-3500 RPM).
NOTE: Although the tractor's engine is designed to run at
full throttle, when performing a practice session the tractor
must be operated at less than full throttle (approximately
2500-3000 RPM). This only applies to practice.
WARNING!
Always maintain a firm grip on the
control levers. DO NOT release the control levers to
slow or stop the tractor; move levers to neutral
position using your hands.
5.
To drive the tractor, firmly grasp the respective drive
control levers with your right and left hands and continue
with Driving the Tractor Forward on the following page.
